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.
