Circuit Description

In the RUN position, the ignition switch applies battery voltage to the AIR BAG warning lamp and to the IGNITION 1 input terminal 10. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module responds by flashing the AIR BAG warning lamp seven times. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module monitors the voltage levels at the PASSENGER AIR BAG Enable terminal 11 and PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLE terminal 12 of the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module to detrimine the position of the inflatable restraint IP module switch.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The voltage detected at PASSENGER AIR BAG ENABLE terminal 11 and PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLE terminal 12 are less than 1.0 volt when the AIR BAG ON lamp is commanded on.
    • The voltage detected at PASSENGER AIR BAG ENABLE terminal 11 and PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLE terminal 12 are greater than 4.0 volts when the AIR BAG ON lamp is commanded OFF.
    • The voltage detected at PASSENGER AIR BAG ENABLE terminal 11 and PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLE terminal 12 are greater than 1.0 volt when the AIR BAG OFF lamp is commanded ON.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) attempts to illuminate the AIR BAG OFF lamp.
    • The inflatable restraint IP module switch is defaulted to the disabled state.
    • The SDM sets a diagnostic trouble code.
    • The SDM turns ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • Current DTC: The voltage at PASSENGER AIR BAG ENABLE terminal 11 is greater than 4.0 volts for 500 milliseconds and the voltage at PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLE terminal 12 is less than 1.0 volts for 500 milliseconds when the AIR BAG ON lamp is commanded ON.
    • History DTC:
       - You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.
       - Once 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred

Diagnostic Aids

Refer to AIR BAG Warning Lamp Comes On Steady and AIR BAG Warning Lamp Does Not Come On to diagnose warning lamp circuit malfunctions.

When measurements are requested in this table, use the J 39200 DMM 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 Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems. When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit and refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
