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.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.
The pretensioner control circuit is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.
The pretensioner control circuit is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.
The pretensioner control circuit is open for 2 seconds.
The pretensioner deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.2 Ω for 2 seconds.
The pretensioner deployment loop resistance is less than 1.4 Ω for 2 seconds.
• | 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. |
• | The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
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 fretting 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 seat 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.

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 |
• | Knee air bag |
• | Seat 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 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.• | F112 Seat belt retractor pretensioner |
