Circuit Description

When the ignition is turned on, the SDM performs a self-test to diagnose malfunctions inside the module. The SDM provides input power to the SIS. When the input power is first detected, the SIS responds by performing internal diagnostics. Next the SIS sends an ID message to the SDM. The SDM will consider this to be a valid ID if the response time is less than 5 seconds after the SIS is powered up. the SIS will continually communicate a status message to the SDM. The SDM can reset the SIS by removing and applying power to it.
