The ignition switch supplies Ignition 1 voltage to the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) at terminal 10 using Fuse 21. The ignition switch also supplies Ignition 1 voltage to the AIR BAG warning lamp using Fuse 39. The AIR BAG warning lamp is connected to the INFLATABLE RESTRAINT INDICATOR at terminal 7 of the SDM. When the ignition switch is first turned to RUN, the SDM responds by flashing the AIR BAG warning lamp 7 times. If IGNITION 1 is outside of the normal operating voltage range (8.2 volts-17.1 volts), the AIR BAG warning lamp will turn ON solid with no DTCs set.
In order to disable the shorting bar from terminal 6 to terminal 7 inside the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) harness connector, the following 2 conditions must be met:
• | The SDM harness connector must be properly connected to the SDM. |
• | The Connector Position Assurance (CPA) must be properly installed in the SDM harness connector. |
When measurements are requested in this table, use the J 39200 DMM with the correct terminal adapter from the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit. When an inspection for proper connection is requested, refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems. When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit and refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
This test checks for sufficient IGNITION voltage applied to the SDM.
This test checks for excessive IGNITION voltage applied to the SDM.
This test checks for a properly installed CPA.
This test determines if the SDM is turning on the AIR BAG warning lamp.
This test checks for a damaged shorting bar.
This test determines whether the malfunction is a short to ground in CKT 358.
This test checks for a short between CKT 358 and CKT 1751.
An open Fuse 21 would cause the AIR BAG warning lamp to come on steady.
This test checks whether a short to ground caused Fuse 21 to open.
This test determines whether the short to ground is due to a short in the wiring or internal to the SDM.
This test checks for a disconnected SDM.
This test checks for an open in the IGNITION circuit.
