Circuit Description
The inflatable restraints passenger presence system (PPS) module has an ignition 1 voltage input. The PPS continually monitors itself for faults. If the voltage on this circuit falls below a certain threshold, the PPS will set DTC 024. When the PPS detects this DTC within the PPS it will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by turning ON the OFF indicator on the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. Then the PPS will communicate to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) through a non-class 2 communications circuit that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will then turn the AIR BAG indicator ON, and set DTC B0092 or B0098 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 024 PPS Ignition 1 Voltage Performance
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PPS detects ignition 1 voltage is less than 8 volts for 500 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PPS will set a DTC 024, then communicate with the SDM via non-class 2 circuit. |
| • | The SDM will set DTC B0092 or B0098. |
| • | The SDM disables the I/P module deployment loop. |
| • | The PPS will turn ON the passenger air bag status OFF indicator. |
| • | The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via class 2 serial data. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
The following can cause an intermittent condition:
| • | A short in the ignition 1 voltage circuit |
| • | An open or high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit |
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
The PPS will set DTC 024 as a history code only, when the ignition voltage has fallen below 8 volts. This is a normal condition for DTC 024 and it should be diagnosed as a current DTC.
