The inflatable restraint front end sensor utilizes a bidirectional 2-wire circuit. The front end sensor modulates current on the interface to send ID, state of health, and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the front end sensor. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the front end sensor 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 front end sensor continually communicates status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the front end sensor circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM may reset the front end sensor up to 2 times by removing and reapplying power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Any of the following conditions exist for 1 second:
The impact sensor has been shorted to voltage.
• | The impact sensor has been shorted to ground. |
• | The impact sensor current has been above 23 mA. |
• | The SDM has received a Not OK (NOK) message from the impact sensor. |
• | The SDM has not received a message. |
• | The SDM has received an ID message from the impact sensor, which does not match the ID stored in the SDM memory. |
• | The SDM has reset the impact sensor twice without detecting the correct ID message. |
• | The SDM has received an ID message from the impact sensor, which does not match the ID stored in the SDM memory. |
• | The SDM has reset the impact sensor twice without detecting the correct ID message. |
The SDM has received invalid serial data from the impact sensor.
• | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
• | The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed. |
• | The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
