During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the air bag module. There are 2 shorting bars used within the module connector which will short together both high and low circuits, when the connector is disconnected. This will prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
The air bag module high and/or low circuit is shorted to voltage for 120 milliseconds.
The air bag module high and/or low circuit is shorted to ground for 120 milliseconds.
The air bag module high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.
The air bag module deployment loop resistance is greater than 3.9 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
The air bag module deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
• | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
• | The SDM will store a DTC, if event occurs system will still attempt deployments. |
• | The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
• | When a harness connector is disconnected, the high control and low control circuits are shorted together by the integral shorting bar. This should be taken into account when testing for faults on these circuits. |
• | This DTC usually indicates a poor connection or a wiring malfunction between the SDM and the deployment loop. |
