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 an air bag or pretensioner. There are 2 shorting bars which will short together control circuits, when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag or pretensioner during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0015 01, B001A 01, B001B 01, B0022 01

The pretensioner control circuit is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.

B0015 02, B001A 02, B001B 02, B0022 02

The pretensioner control circuit is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.

B0015 04, B001A 04, B001B 04, B0022 04

The pretensioner control circuit is open for 2 seconds.

B0015 0D, B001A 0D, B001B 0D, B0022 0D

The pretensioner deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.2 Ω for 2 seconds.

B0015 0E, B001A 0E, B001B 0E, B0022 0E

The pretensioner deployment loop resistance is less than 1.4 Ω for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The SDM requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

The SDM will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployments.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC


The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.


Diagnostic Aids

Note

The following diagnostic aids apply for both current and history DTCs.


An incorrectly installed CPA or incorrectly seated connector can cause a shorting bar to short both control circuits together. Check the connectors and CPAs if a DTC with symptom byte 02 or 0E is set, to ensure the shorting bars are not causing the circuits to be shorted together. Shorting bars are used in the locations listed below:


Driver and passenger anchor or retractor pretensioners

Inline connectors - on the side of the harness connector

Harness side of the SDM connector


Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause an open/high resistance condition. Check the circuit terminals for corrosion or incorrectly seated connector if a DTC with symptom byte 04 or 0D is set. DTCs of deployment loops which are in the seat can occur because of stress or damage to the harness due to seat movement. Move the seat to the full extend of travel while using the scan tool to observe deployment type loop parameters.

If the pretensioner, passenger instrument panel air bags or side air bag has inflated under unexpected conditions and/or DTC with symptom byte 01 is set, check both control circuits for a short to voltage.

Circuit/System Verification

Note

Refer to SIR Service Precautions .

Inspect all terminals for damage or corrosion when disconnecting connectors. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

Seat belt retractor pretensioner

Passenger instrument panel air bag

Side air bag

Roof rail air bag

SDM

Seat belt retractor pretensioner wiring harness connector

Passenger instrument panel air bag wiring harness connector

Seat side air bag wiring harness connector

Roof rail air bag wiring harness connector

SDM wiring harness connector


Note

The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other. The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independently of each other. Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.

If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated, disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.



1. Verify the scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance parameters stay consistently between 2.1 and 4.0 Ω without any spikes or dropouts while moving the harness near each connector listed below:

F112 Seat belt retractor pretensioner

F113 Seat belt anchor pretensioner

Any inline harness

K36 SDM

Inspect each connector terminal and harness for damage or corrosion and repair as necessary

Apply Nyogel lubricant 760G to each connector terminal

Insure each connector and CPA is correctly seated.

2. All OK
