Diagnostic Fault Information

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

Circuit	Short to Ground	High Resistance	Open	Short to Voltage	Signal Performance
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF High Circuit	B0022 02	B0022 0D	B0022 04	B0022 01	B0022 0E
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF Low Circuit	B0022 02	B0022 0D	B0022 04	B0022 01	B0022 0E

Circuit/System Description

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 seat belt pretensioner - RF. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. A shorting bar used within the seat belt pretensioner - RF connector which will short together both seat belt pretensioner - RF high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected, this will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0022 01

The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to voltage for 120 milliseconds.

B0022 02

The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to ground for 120  milliseconds.

B0022 04

The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.

B0022 0D

The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is more than 3.9 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

B0022 0E

The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

Special Tools Required

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.

•	The seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF

•	The SDM module

•	The seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF wiring harness connector

•	The SDM wiring harness connector

1. Ignition OFF, remove the passenger sill plate and rear window panel trim and disconnect the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF connector. Refer to Rear Window Panel Trim Replacement .
2. Use J 38715-30A adapter to connect the J 38715-A to the harness side of the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF wiring harness connector. Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
3. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B0022 is set current.

⇒	If DTC B0022 is history replace the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF.

4. Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove both the J 38715-A and adapter. Then remove the SDM connector. Refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.
5. Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance does not exist.

⇒	If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.

6. If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.

Repair Instructions

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
