Circuit Description
In the RUN position, the ignition switch applies battery voltage to the AIR BAG warning lamp and to the IGNITION input terminal 5. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) responds by flashing the AIR BAG warning lamp seven times. The SDM monitors the lamp driver output by comparing the output state at the INFLATABLE RESTRAINT INDICATOR terminal 6 to the microprocessor commanded state.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The output state at the INFLATABLE RESTRAINT INDICATOR terminal 6 does not match the commanded state of the lamp driver for 500 milliseconds.
The CONTINUOUS MONITORING test checks for this DTC. This test occurs when IGNITION is within the normal operating voltage range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM sets a DTC B1061. |
| • | The SDM attempts to turn ON the AIR BAG warning lamp. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Current DTC The output state at the INFLATABLE RESTRAINT INDICATOR terminal 6 matches the commanded state of the lamp driver for 500 milliseconds. |
| • | History DTC |
| - | You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command. |
| - | Once 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
Refer to AIR BAG Warning Lamp Comes On Steady and AIR BAG Warning Lamp Does Not Come On to diagnose warning lamp circuit malfunctions.
