Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.
If passenger side impact module inflation was caused by side impact, the SDM maintains warning lamp ON and the entire air bag system should be inspected, including pretensioners. The side air bag sensor and wiring should be replaced. If the passenger side impact module inflation by side impact counts over 5, the SDM should also be replaced.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 034 RH Side Air Bag Deployment Commanded

Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The history of the passenger side impact module inflation or belt pretensioner explosion is in the SDM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
