Roof Rail Module - Right Low Circuit	B0023 02	B0023 0D	B0023 04	B0023 01	B0023 0E

Circuit/System Description

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 roof side rail module. 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 roof rail module connector will short together both roof rail module - right high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected; this will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0023 01

The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is short to voltage for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 02

The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is short to ground for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 04

The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 0D

The roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is more than 3.9 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 0E

The roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

•	The roof rail module - right

•	The SDM module

•	The roof rail module - right wiring harness connector

•	The SDM wiring harness connector

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the roof rail module - right connector.
2. Connect the J 38715-A to the harness side of the roof rail module - right connector. Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
3. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B0023 is set in current.

⇒	If DTC B0023 is history replace the roof rail module - right.

4. Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the J 38715-A . Then remove the SDM connector, refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.

⇒	If damage or corrosion is found make the appropriate repair.

5. Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and roof rail module - right for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance does not exist.

⇒	If damage or corrosion is found make the appropriate repair.

6. If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
