Circuit/System Description

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 seat belt pretensioner - RF. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. A shorting bar is used within the seat belt pretensioner - RF connector which will short together both seat belt pretensioner - RF high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

•	The I/P module

•	The SDM module

•	The I/P wiring harness connector

•	The SDM wiring harness connector

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the seat belt pretensioner - RF in-line connector.
2. Disconnect the SDM connector. Refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.
3. Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and seat belt pretensioner - RF for a short to voltage, short to ground, short between circuits or open/high resistance. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, short between circuits or open/high resistance does not exist.

⇒	If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.

4. If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
5. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B001B is set current.

⇒	Replace the seat belt pretensioner - RF.
