Circuit Description

When you turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, voltage is applied to the AIR BAG warning lamp as well as the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) at terminal 10. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) responds by flashing the AIR BAG warning lamp 7 times. The SDM monitors the lamp driver output by comparing the output state at the AIR BAG Indicator Control terminal 7 to the microprocessor commanded state.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The output state at the AIR BAG Indicator Control terminal 7 does not match the commanded state of the lamp driver for 400 milliseconds.

The Continuous Monitoring test inspects for this DTC. This test occurs when IGNITION 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM attempts to turn ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • Current DTC--The output state at the AIR BAG Indicator Control terminal 7 matches the commanded state of the lamp driver for 400 milliseconds.
    • History DTC
       - You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.
       - After 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.
