Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within SDM itself.
Upon passing these test ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that they are within their normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deployment loops.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B1404 RF Side Impact Sensor Short to Ground
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The side impact sensor wiring of the passenger high is shorted to ground. |
| • | The side impact sensor wiring of the passenger low is shorted to ground. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.

1 | Did you perform a Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | ||
2 |
Has the SDM discharged? | -- | Go to Step 3 | -- |
3 | Visually inspect any damage for the passenger side impact sensor wiring and the connector. Are the passenger side air bag wiring and connector OK? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Measure the resistance between the high, low wiring of the passenger side impact sensor harness connector and ground. Is the resistance equal to the specified value? | 10K ohms | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Replace the air bag wiring. Is the replacement complete? | -- | Go to Step 8 | -- |
6 |
Is the DTC removed? | -- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Replace the passenger side impact sensor. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor Replacement . Is the replacement complete? | -- | Go to Step 8 | -- |
8 |
Does the DTC reset? | Go to Step 2 | System OK | |
