Circuit | Short to Ground | High Resistance | Open | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
I/P Module Stage 1 High Circuit | B0019 02 | B0019 0D | B0019 04 | B0019 01 | B0019 0E |
I/P Module Stage 1 Low Circuit | B0019 02 | B0019 0D | B0019 04 | B0019 01 | B0019 0E |
I/P Module Stage 2 High Circuit | B0020 02 | B0020 0D | B0020 04 | B0020 01 | B0020 0E |
I/P Module Stage 2 Low Circuit | B0020 02 | B0020 0D | B0020 04 | B0020 01 | B0020 0E |
If a malfunction is detected, a DTC will be stored in nonvolatile memory. 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 instrument panel (I/P) module. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. There are 2 shorting bars used within the I/P module connector which will short together both I/P module stage 1 high and low circuits, and both I/P module stage 2 high and low circuits, when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
The I/P module high and/or low circuit is short to voltage for 120 milliseconds.
The I/P module high and/or low circuit is short to ground for 120 milliseconds.
The I/P module high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.
The I/P module deployment loop resistance is more than 5.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
The I/P module deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
• | The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via serial data communications. |
• | The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed. |
• | 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. |

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 I/P module • The SDM module • The I/P module wiring harness connector • The SDM wiring harness connector
⇒ | If DTC B0019 or B0020 is history, replace the I/P module. |
⇒ | If any of the above conditions are found, make the appropriate repair. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
