    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00: Option Configuration Error

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores a 4-digit primary key for the inflatable restraint vehicle rollover sensor (ROS). The SDM sends the ROS the primary key. If the ROS determines that it is the wrong primary key, the ROS will set DTC B1001 and send the SDM a vehicle mismatch message. The SDM then will set DTC B0090 3A and illuminate the SIR Warning Indicator. The ROS does not use a secondary key.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 4-digit primary key stored in the SDM does not match the 4-digit key stored in the ROS.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
    • The SDM disables all rollover related deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The 4-digit Primary Key in the SDM and in the ROS match.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is an indication that the ROS was not set-up correctly, is not the correct part number or that the ROS is defective.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.

   • ROS
   • ROS wiring harness

  1. Verify the correct ROS part number has been installed
  2. If the wrong ROS part number was installed, replace with the correct ROS.
  3. Verify that DTC B1001 is not set in the ROS.
  4. If DTC is set, perform the Setup New ROS procedure. If DTC resets replace the ROS.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

DTC B1001 SDM

Diagnostic Instructions

    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00: SDM Option Configuration Error

Circuit/System Description

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. If there is a mismatch between the information stored in the SDM and BCM, DTC B1001 will set.

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.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.

   • SDM
   • SDM wiring harness

  1. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Secondary Key Status displays Valid.
  2. If not the specified value, verify the scan tool Received VIN Digits 2-7 match the vehicle VIN , if the VIN does not match, reprogram the BCM. If the VIN matches, reprogram the SDM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Primary Key Status displays Valid.
  4. If not the specified value, verify the scan tool SDM Primary Key matches the Received Primary Key, if the key does not match, perform the Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM procedure.
  5. With a scan tool, verify DTC B1001 is not set as current.
  6. If DTC is set as current, replace the SDM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

DTC B1001 PPS

Diagnostic Instructions

    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00: Option Configuration Error

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores a 4-digit primary key for the inflatable restraint passenger presence system (PPS). The SDM sends the PPS the primary key. If the PPS determines that it is the wrong primary key, the PPS will set DTC B1001 and send the SDM a vehicle mismatch message. The SDM then will set DTC B0081 and illuminate the SIR warning indicator. The PPS does not use a secondary key.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 4-digit primary key stored in the SDM does not match the 4-digit key stored in the PPS.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
    • The I/P module deployment is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The 4-digit Primary Key in the SDM and in the PPS match.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is an indication that the PPS was not set-up correctly, is not the correct part number or that the PPS is defective.
