DTC B1415: RF Side Impact Sensor Incorrect Component Installed
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) utilizes a unidirectional 2-wire circuit. The SIS modulates current on the interface to send ID, state of health (SOH), and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
(SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the SIS. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the SIS responds by performing internal diagnostics and sending an ID to the SDM. The SDM considers the ID to be
valid if the response time is less than 5 seconds. The SIS continually communicates status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the SIS circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM resets the SIS twice by removing and reapplying
power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The sensor for communication between the SDM and passenger side impact sensor is not identified.
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. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Verification
Note: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.
Verify that DTC B1414 is not set.
| ⇒ | If DTC is set as current, clear codes, if DTC resets, replace the passenger side impact sensor. |
