DTC Descriptors

DTC B0052 00: Deployment Commanded Malfunction

DTC B0052 56: Deployment Commanded Too Many Transitions

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) senses vehicle impacts and provides deployment signals to the air bags and anchor and/or retractor pretensioners when warranted. The SDM sets DTC B0052 after each command for deployment. DTC B0052 will latch and not clear after 3 commanded deployments by the SDM. And therefore the SDM has to be replaced using end of life disposal procedure.

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 frontal air bags.
    • The SDM detects a side impact or rollover (if equipped) of sufficient force to warrant deployment of a seat side air bag and/or roof rail air bag.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

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

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • DTC B0052 00 is a clearable DTC and may be cleared with a scan tool without replacing the SDM.
    • DTC B0052 56 is a latched DTC. The DTC cannot be cleared with the scan tool. Replacement of the SDM is required.
