Circuit | Short to Ground | High Resistance | Open | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF High Circuit | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 04 | B0022 01 | B0022 0E |
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF Low Circuit | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 04 | B0022 01 | B0022 0E |
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 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.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to voltage.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to ground.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is open.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is more than 3.54 ohms.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is less than 1.77 ohms.
• | The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via serial data communications. |
• | The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed. |
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
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
⇒ | If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair. |
⇒ | Replace the seat belt pretensioner - RF. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
