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.
These test ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that they are within their normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deployment loops.
If the warning lamp operates properly ON and OFF, the SDM measures the voltage continuously from the warning lamp terminal.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2500 Inflatable Restraint System Indicator Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The warning lamp does not blink properly ON and OFF.
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.
Reference
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the warning lamp blinks 7 times during 7 seconds.
If the warning lamp stays ON or blinks a second after the above normal blinking, 7 times during 7 seconds, then it is regarded as a defect, old or current. Please inspect the defect with the scan tool.
