DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001: SDM Option Configuration Error

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores the vehicles restraint ID from the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the last 4 digits of the SDM part number. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM compares this information to the information stored in the body control module (BCM) over the serial data communication circuit. If there is a mismatch between the information stored in the SDM and BCM, DTC B1001 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•	The last 4 digits of the SDM part number does not match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.

•	The VIN stored in the BCM does not match that of the vehicle.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

•	The SDM disables all deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The last 4 digits of the SDM part number match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.

•	The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM matches the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM.
