When the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) recognizes IGNITION 1 voltage, applied to terminal 10, is greater than 8.2 volts, the SDM flashes the AIR BAG warning lamp 7 times to verify operation. At this time the SDM performs POWER-ON tests followed by the RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT test and the CONTINUOUS MONITORING tests. Upon detection of a malfunction, the SDM sets a current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and illuminates the AIR BAG warning lamp. The SDM will clear current DTCs and preserve them in a history file when the following items are true:
• | The malfunction is no longer detected. |
• | The ignition switch is cycled. |
Important: Repair the malfunction that set the DTC before you replace the SDM.
This does not include the following latched codes:
• | DTC B1018 |
• | DTC B1024 |
• | DTC B1051 |
• | DTC B1053 |
• | DTC B1071 |
You may not clear a latched code.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
This test confirms a circuit malfunction. If no current malfunction is occurring (history DTC set), refer to the Diagnostic Aids for the appropriate DTC table as indicated through the Scan Tool . Do not replace the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) for a history DTC other than DTC B1071.
This test inspects for a malfunction introduced into the SIR system during the diagnostic process. A malfunctioning SDM would unlikely cause a new malfunction to occur during this process.
When you have found all circuitry outside the SDM to operate properly, as indicated by the appropriate diagnostic table, replace the SDM.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Were you sent here from a symptom table or a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
Does the AIR BAG warning lamp flash 7 times then go OFF? | -- | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 3 | |
Using the Scan Tool , request the SIR DTC display. Is the same symptom or DTC occurring as when the SIR Diagnostic System Check was first performed? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to the appropriate DTC table | |
Does the AIR BAG warning lamp flash 7 times then go OFF? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 5 | |
5 |
Has the SDM been replaced? | -- | Go to Step 6 | -- |
6 |
Have all the SIR components been reconnected and properly mounted? | -- | Go to Step 7 | -- |
7 | Clear the SIR DTCs. Have the SIR DTCs been cleared? | -- | -- |
