|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition | B1370 06 | B1370 06 | B1370 01 | -- |
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) monitors the ignition 1 signal from the ignition switch. When the vehicle ignition switch is placed in the RUN or CRANK position the switch supplies voltage to the SDM ignition 1 input terminal. If an open, short to voltage, or short to ground in this SDM ignition 1 circuit is detected then DTC B1370 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The following conditions exist for at least 10 seconds:
B1370 01
The SDM detects a short to battery in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the switch is in the OFF position.
B1370 06
The SDM detects a short to ground or an open in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the ignition switch is in RUN or CRANK.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
| • | The SDM determines its power mode only from the GMLAN power mode messages and discards the ignition 1 input for the remainder of the ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
A history DTC maybe caused by an intermittent short or open in the ignition 1 circuit.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition ON, verify DTC B1370 is not set in any other modules.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
- Verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition circuit 33 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 33 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.
Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
• SDM module • SDM wiring harness connector
| ⇒ | If the DTC is set in other modules, refer to DTC B1370-B1379, B1380-B1389, or B1440-B1443 and diagnose other modules prior to diagnosing the SDM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the ignition circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
