Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.
If driver side impact module inflation was caused by side impact, the SDM maintains warning lamp ON and the entire air bag system should be inspected, including pretensioners. The side air bag sensor and wiring should be replaced. If the driver side impact module inflation by side impact counts over 5, the SDM should also be replaced.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 033
Conditions for Running the DTC
