DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00: SDM Option Configuration Error

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores a primary data key, which is a 4-digit number, and a secondary data key, which is a portion of the vehicle identification number (VIN). When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM compares this information to the information stored in the body control module (BCM) over the serial data communication circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•	The 4-digit primary data key stored in the SDM does not match the 4 digits stored in the BCM.

•	The VIN stored in the BCM does not match that of the vehicle.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

•	The SDM disables all deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The last 4-digit Primary Data Key in the SDM match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.

•	The VIN that is stored in the SDM matches the VIN stored in the BCM.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is an indication that an incorrect SDM is installed in the vehicle, or that the SDM and/or the BCM was replaced without reprogramming the BCM with the new information.
