Circuit Description
When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM then measures IGNITION 1 voltage to verify that it is within the respective normal voltage range. The SDM then proceeds with the DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY test. During the DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY test, the SDM measures the voltage difference between PASSENGER SIDE HIGH and PASSENGER SIDE LOW.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The voltage difference between PASSENGER SIDE HIGH terminal 1 and PASSENGER SIDE LOW terminal 4 is more than or equal to 400 millivolts. |
| • | The malfunction must be present for at least 500 milliseconds during one of the following tests: |
| - | DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY |
| - | If the malfunction is detected in this test, the RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT test will not be performed. |
| - | CONTINUOUS MONITORING |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SDM turns ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Current DTC |
| The voltage difference between PASSENGER SIDE HIGH terminal 1 and PASSENGER SIDE LOW terminal 4 is less than 400 millivolts for 500 milliseconds. |
| • | History DTC |
| - | You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command. |
| - | After 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
The following may cause an intermittent condition:
| • | A poor connection at the inflatable restraint IP module harness connector terminals A and B. |
| • | A poor connection at the SDM terminals 1 and 4. |
| • | An open in CKT 1403. |
| • | An open in CKT 1404. |
When measurements are requested in this table, use the J 39200 Digital Multimeter with the correct terminal adapter from the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit. When an inspection for proper connection is requested, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This test determines the deployment loop voltage difference measured by the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
-
This test inspects for proper contact or corrosion of the yellow 2-way connector.
-
This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the inflatable restraint IP module yellow 2-way connector.
-
This test inspects for proper contact or corrosion of the SDM harness connector.
-
This test determines whether the malfunction is in CKT 1403.
-
This test determines whether the malfunction is in CKT 1404.
