When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the supplemental restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM monitors the voltage levels at the passenger frontal SRS enable and disable terminals of the SDM to determine the position of the supplemental restraint IP module switch. The SDM then performs the following continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops:
• | Deployment loop voltage out of range test |
• | Deployment loop resistance measurement test |
If the voltage out of range test detects a short to voltage condition, the resistance measurement test for that deployment loop will not be performed.
• | Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range. |
• | Passenger frontal deployment loop is not shorted to voltage. |
• | The voltage detected at passenger frontal SRS enable terminal and passenger frontal SRS disable terminal are less than 1.0 volt when the AIR BAG ON lamp is commanded ON. |
• | The voltage detected at passenger frontal SRS enable terminal and passenger frontal SRS disable terminal are greater than 4.0 volts when the AIR BAG ON lamp is commanded OFF. |
• | The voltage detected at passenger frontal SRS enable terminal and passenger frontal SRS disable terminal are greater than 1.0 volt when the AIR BAG OFF lamp is commanded ON. |
• | The supplemental restraint IP module switch is defaulted to the disabled state. |
• | The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp via Class 2 serial data. |
• | The SDM attempts to illuminate the supplemental restraint IP module switch AIR BAG OFF lamp. |
• | The supplemental restraint IP module switch AIR BAG lamp is OFF, and the voltage at passenger frontal SRS enable terminal and passenger frontal SRS disable terminal are in opposite states for 300 milliseconds. |
• | You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
When the SDM detects that no DTCs are present, the SDM commands the AIR BAG warning lamp OFF.
The following can cause an intermittent condition:
• | A short between the the passenger frontal SRS enable and the passenger frontal SRS disable circuits. |
• | Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
Observes the state of the supplemental restraint IP module Switch, normal state being OFF.
Tests for a malfunctioning supplemental restraint IP module switch.
Tests for a malfunctioning supplemental restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
Tests for a short in the signal circuits between the supplemental restraint IP module switch and the supplemental restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
This step replaces the supplemental restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
