Circuit/System Description |
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) contains sensing devices that converts vehicle velocity changes to electrical signals. The SDM processes the generated electrical signals and compares them to values stored in memory. When the generated signals exceed the stored values, the SDM performs additional signal processing and compares the generated signals to signals stored in memory. When 2 of the generated signals exceed the stored values, the SDM will cause current to flow through the inflator modules, deploying the inflator modules, and causing DTC B0051 to set.
Conditions for Running the DTC |
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC |
• |
The SDM detects a frontal impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of the driver and passenger frontal air bags.
|
• |
The SDM detects a side impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of side air bags.
|
Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
• |
The SDM requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
|
• |
The SDM records crash data.
|
Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
DTC B0051 is a latched code. You cannot clear a latched code. Replace the SDM after following the instructions.
