Circuit | Short to Ground | High Resistance | Open | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF High Circuit | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 04 | B0022 01 | B0022 0E |
Seat Belt Pretensioner - RF Low Circuit | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 04 | B0022 01 | B0022 0E |
During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the seat belt pretensioner - RF. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage.
A shorting bar used within the seat belt pretensioner - RF connector which will short together both seat belt pretensioner - RF high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected, this will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to voltage for 120 milliseconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is short to ground for 120 milliseconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is more than 3.9 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - RF deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
• | The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via GMLAN serial data. |
• | The SIR system is disabled and no deployments are allowed. |
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
If there is more than one DTC set diagnose the open DTC first.

⇒ | If the connector for the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF is damaged, the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF must be replaced. |
⇒ | If the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF wiring harness side connector is damaged, replace the harness side of the connector. |
⇒ | If DTC B0022 is history replace the seat belt retractor pretensioner - RF. |
⇒ | If the connector for the SDM is damaged, the SDM must be replaced. |
⇒ | If the wiring harness side of the SDM connector is damaged, replace the harness side of the connector. |
⇒ | If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
