DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Trouble Code - DTC -

When the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects any problem it illuminates the airbag warning indicator and stores the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
The supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) diagnostic system check must be always the starting point for any SIR diagnosis. The diagnostic system check reveals diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) through the use of scan tool. It also checks for proper airbag warning lamp operation.
The two types of DTCs that may be recorded are as follows :
  1. Active DTCs represent malfunction being detected during the current ignition cycle. Active DTCs are stored in random access memory (RAM).
  2. Historic DTCs represent malfunctions detected sincethe last time the historic memory was cleared. Historic DTCs are stored in the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).

Scan Tool Diagnostics

A scan tool can read serial data from terminal 7 of the data link connector(DLC). The scan tool is used to read diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs), and to clear some DTCs after a repair is completed.
To use the scan tool, turn the ignition OFF, connect the scan tool to the DLC, and turn the ignition switch to ON.
Follow the instructions in the scan tool manual. The SDM sends serial data from terminal 54 of the SDM to terminal 7 of the DLC.

SIR Diagnostic System Check

Notice : If the vehicle interior has been exposed to extensive water intrusion such as water leaks, driving through high water, flooding, or other causes, the sensing and diagnostic module(SDM) and SDM connector may need to be replaced. With ignition OFF, inspect the area around the SDM, including the carpet. If any significant soaking or evidence of previous soaking is detected, the water must be removed, water damage repaired, and the SDM and the SDM connector must be replaced. Before attempting any of these repairs, the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) must be disabled. Refer to "Disabling the SIR" and "Sensing and Diagnostic Module(SDM)" in this section for instructions on how to disable the SIR and replace the SDM.

The SIR Diagnostic System Check must always be the starting point for any SIR diagnosis. The Diagnostic System Check reveals diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs) through the use of scan tool. The diagnostic procedures used in this section are designed to find any repair SIR conditions. To get the best results, it is important to use the diagnostic charts and follow the sequence listed below.
  1. Perform the SIR Diagnostic System Check, which reveal diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs) through the use of scan tool.. It also checks for proper airbag indicator operation.
  2. Refer to the proper diagnostic chart as directed by SIR Diagnostic System Check. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
  3. Repeat the SIR Diagnostic System Check after any repair or diagnostic procedures have been performed to ensure that the repair has been made correctly and that no other malfunction exists.

Circiut Description

When the ignition switch is first turned to ON, ignition voltage is supplied from airbag fuse to find the SDM at input terminal 26. The SDM responds by flashing the airbag indicator six times and then turning it off while the SDM performs tests on the SIR.

Diagnostic Aids

The order in which DTCs are diagnosed is very important. Failure to diagnose the DTCs in the order specified may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

SIR Diagnostic System Check

Caution : The sensing and the diagnosis module (SDM) can maintain surfficient voltage to deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 minute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not disconnected, do not begin service until one minute has been passed after disconnecting power to the SDM. Otherwise, injury could result.

Caution : During service procedure, be very careful when handling the SDM. Never strike or jar the SDM. Never power the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM mounting bolts must be carefully tightened , and the arrow on the SDM must be point toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the SIR. The SDM could be activated if it is powered when it is not rigidly attached to the vehicle, resulting in unexpected deployment and possible injury.

Sensing and Diagnostic Module - SDM - Integrity Check

The following diagnostic chart must be used when all circuitry outside the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has been found to operate properly, as indicated by following the appropriate diagnostic trouble code(DTC) chart. The chart verifies the need for SDM replacement.

Circuit Description

When the SDM recognizes ignition voltage greater than 9 volts at terminal 26 of the SDM, the airbag indicator flashes six times to verify operation. At this time the SDM performs turn-on tests followed by resistance measurement tests and continuous monitoring tests.
When malfunction is detected, the SDM sets current DTC and illuminates the airbag indicator.
When the malfuncation is no longer detected and/or the ignition switch is cycled, the SDM will clear current DTCs and move them to a history file, except for the DTCs B1620, B1650, B1651, B1652, B1657. These DTCs will not be cleared by scan tool because these codes require replacement of SDM. The SDM must be replaced only after the malfunction that set the DTC has been repaired.

Sensing and Diagnostic Module - SDM - Integrity Check

Caution : The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) can maimtain sufficient voltage to deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 minute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not disconnected, do not begin service until one minute has passed after disconnecting the power to the SDM. Otherwise, injury could result.

Caution : During service procedure, be very careful when handling the SDM. Never strike or jar the SDM. Never power the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) when the SDM is not rigidlyattached to the vehile. All SDM mounting bolts must be carefully tightened , and the arrow on the SDM must be point toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the SIR. The SDM could be activated if it is powered when it is not rigidly attached to the vehicle, resulting in unexpected deployment and possible injury.
