Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

If a malfunction is detected, a DTC will be stored in non-volatile memory. During a 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 the driver steering wheel air bag. The

SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage.

There are 2 shorting bars used within each connector which will short together both driver steering wheel air bag stage 1 high circuit and driver

steering wheel air bag stage 1 low circuit and both driver steering wheel air bag stage 2 high circuit and driver steering wheel air bag stage 2 low

circuit when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0012 01 Stage 1 or B0013 01 Stage 2

The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is shorted to voltage for 120 milliseconds.

B0012 02 Stage 1 or B0013 02 Stage 2

The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is shorted to ground for 120 milliseconds.

B0012 04 Stage 1 or B0013 04 Stage 2

The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.

B0012 0D Stage 1 or B0013 0D Stage 2

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 5.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

B0012 0E Stage 1 or B0013 0E Stage 2

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) 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 for setting the DTC no longer exists.

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

Diagnostic Aids

* When a harness connector is disconnected, the high control and low control circuits are shorted together by the integral shorting bar. This

should be taken into account when testing for faults on these circuits.

* This DTC usually indicates a poor connection or a wiring malfunction between the SDM and the deployment loop.
