Circuit/System Description
The driver roof rail deployment loop consists of an inflatable restraint roof rail module - right and the roof rail module high and low circuits. A shorting bar used within the roof rail module connector shorts together both the roof rail module
high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing. 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 roof rail module. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected,
a DTC will be stored in memory.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0069
The DTC will set when the roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
B0070
The DTC will set when one of the following conditions occur:
• | Roof rail module - right high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and the roof rail module - right deployment loop is more than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds. |
• | Roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is more than 4.8 ohms for 500 milliseconds. |
B0071
The DTC when one of the following conditions occur:
• | Roof rail module - right high or low circuits is shorted to ground or short to voltage for 500 milliseconds. |
• | Roof rail module - right high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
• | The SIR system is disabled and no deployments are allowed. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

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.
• | Right roof rail module |
• | Right roof rail module wiring harness connector |
• | SDM wiring harness connector |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect harness connector at the right roof rail module.
- Use J 38715-30A to connect the
J 38715-A
to the harness side of the right roof rail module. Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
- Ignition ON, verify B0069, B0070, or B0071 is set current.
⇒ | If B0069, B0070, or B0071 is history replace the right roof rail module. |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the
J 38715-A
.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the right roof rail module control circuit terminal A and ground.
⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. |
- Test for infinite resistance between the right roof rail module control circuit terminal B and ground.
⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. |
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the right roof rail module control circuit terminal A and ground.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
- Test for less than 1 volt between the right roof rail module control circuit terminal B and ground.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
- Ignition OFF, test for less then 1 ohm between the right roof rail module terminal A and SDM signal circuit terminal 14.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. |
- Test for less then 1 ohm between the right roof rail module terminal B and SDM voltage circuit terminal 15.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.
