Circuit Description
When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests IGNITION, 23VLR and the deployment loop voltages are measured to make sure they are within their respective normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at Driver Side Low terminal 10 and Passenger Side Low terminal 14 to detect shorts-to-B+ in the side inflator module circuits.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The voltage at Driver Side Low terminal 10 is less than 3.8 volts. |
| • | The voltage at Passenger Side Low terminal 14 is more than 3.8 volts for 500 milliseconds. |
The CONTINUOUS MONITORING test checks for this DTC. This test occurs when IGNITION is within the normal operating voltage range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code. |
| • | The SDM turns ON the AIR BAG warning lamp. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Current DTC |
| The voltage at Passenger Side Low terminal 14 is less than 3.5 volts for 500 milliseconds. |
| • | History DTC |
| - | You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command. |
| - | Once 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
A short to B+ in the inflatable restraint passenger seat module circuit can cause an intermittent condition. Inspect CKT 2135 and CKT 2136 carefully for cutting or chafing. Wiring pigtail damage requires replacement of the inflatable restraint passenger seat module. The diagnostic table directs the technician to note the entry value of RH SIDE AIR BAG SENSELO. Comparing the value of RH SIDE AIR BAG SENSELO can be helpful in determining if an intermittent condition exists.
When measurements are requested in this table, use J 39200 Digital Multimeter with the correct terminal adapter from J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit. When a check for proper connection is requested, refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit and refer to Wiring Repair .
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This test determines the passenger side air bag low voltage measured by the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
-
This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the inflatable restraint front side impact module (RH) yellow 2-way connector.
-
This test determines whether the malfunction is in CKT 2135.
-
This test determines whether the malfunction is in CKT 2136.
