Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

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 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 the steering wheel air bag coil connector which will short together both steering wheel air bag stage 1 high control circuit and steering wheel air bag stage 1 low control circuit and both steering wheel air bag stage 2 high control circuit and steering wheel air bag stage 2 low control circuit when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the steering wheel air bag during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0012 01 stage 1 or B0013 01 stage 2

The Steering Wheel Air Bag deployment loop is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.

B0012 02 stage 1 or B0013 02 stage 2

The Steering Wheel Air Bag deployment loop is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.

B0012 04 stage 1 or B0013 04 stage 2

The Steering Wheel Air Bag deployment loop is open for 2 seconds.

B0012 0D stage 1 or B0013 0D stage 2

The Steering Wheel Air Bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.4 ohms for 2 seconds.

B0012 0E stage 1 or B0013 0E stage 2

The Steering Wheel Air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.7 ohms for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

1. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
2. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployment.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

1. The condition for setting the DTC is no longer exists.
2. A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aid

Note. The following diagnostic aids apply for both current and history DTCs.

A worn steering wheel air bag coil can cause a repeated history DTC to set. To verify this condition, turn the steering wheel 360 degrees in one direction then back 360 degrees in the other direction, multiple times, while viewing the scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance parameters.

An incorrectly installed connector position assurance (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

1. Steering Wheel Air Bag assembly
2. Steering Wheel Air Bag Coil assembly
3. Inline harness connectors
4. Harness side of the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module connector

Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connector 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.

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.

B0016 01, B0023 01

The air bag control circuit is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.

B0016 02, B0023 02

The air bag control circuit is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.

B0016 04, B0023 04

The air bag control circuit is open for 2 seconds.

B0016 0D, B0023 0D

The air bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.2 ohms for 2 seconds.

B0016 0E, B0023 0E

The air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.4 ohms for 2 seconds.

1. The SDM requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
2. The SDM will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployments.

1. The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
2. 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 connector position assurance (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

1. Passenger instrument panel air bag
2. Driver and passenger seat side air bags
3. Left and right roof rail air bags
4. Driver and passenger retractor pretensioners
5. Inline harness connectors
6. 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 DTC can occur because of stress or damage to the harness due to seat movement. Move the seat to the full extent of travel while using the scan tool to observe deployment type loop parameters.

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 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module sets DTC B0052 after each command for deployment. DTC B0052 will latch and not clear after 3 commanded deployments by the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module. Therefore the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module has to be replaced.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

1. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module detects a frontal impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of the frontal air bags.
2. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module 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.

The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

1. DTC B0052 00 is a DTC that may be cleared with a scan tool without replacing the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module. This DTC will not clear if deployment has been commanded more then two times, and the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module would have to be replaced.
2. DTC B0052 56 is a latched DTC. The DTC cannot be cleared with the scan tool. Replacement of the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module is required.

The passenger presence module monitors the sensor status continually. Whenever the sensor mat has an internal malfunction, the passenger presence module will set DTC B0074.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

B0074 00

The passenger presence module has detected a disconnection from the sensor mat.

B0074 0D

The passenger presence module has detected a resistance above threshold.

B0074 0E

The passenger presence module has detected a resistance below threshold.

B0074 0F

The passenger presence module has detected a wet seat fault.

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

1. The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
2. A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

1. If either the SDM or PPS were replaced verify that the correct part numbers were used for the vehicle application.
2. If this DTC is set as either current or history it may have been caused by an electronic device. If an electronic device (Computers, MP3 Players, Cell Phones, Diagnostic Scan Tool, Power Inverter, etc.) was placed on the passenger seat the passenger presence module may command the passenger air bag indicator to turn on and/or command the passenger seat belt indicator to turn on. Make sure there are no objects on the passenger seat and clear the DTCs. If this DTC resets then perform this diagnostic. If the DTC does not reset there is no further work needed on the passenger presence system.
3. If this DTC is set as either current or history it may have been caused by an aftermarket seat heater. The aftermarket seat heater may command the passenger air bag indicator to turn on and/or command the passenger seat belt indicator to turn on. Remove the aftermarket seat heater from the passenger seat and clear the DTCs. If this DTC resets then perform this diagnostic. If the DTC does not reset there is no further work needed on the passenger presence system.

If there is a mismatch between detected components and the components programmed with the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module calibration, DTC B1019 will set. The components (if equipped) that the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will detect include inflatable restraint deployment loops, impact sensors, passenger presence system components, seat position sensors, disable switches, and seat belt switches.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

The setup for the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module has not been completed and the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module does not detect the passenger presence system (if equipped), the correct number of sensors, or deployment loops, that is expected with this calibration.

1. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG warning indicator.
2. The DTC must be cleared before running the setup Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module.
3. Air bag indicator will continue to flash until Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module setup procedure is complete.

1. The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
2. A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module scan tool deployment loop, impact sensor, and passenger presence (if equipped) data will match what the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module has been programmed to expect to see on the vehicle. B1019 DTC will set if a deployment loop or impact sensor is added or removed from the system, or if the passenger presence is not detected.

DTC B1019 will set when an open/high resistance DTC sets for a deployment loop or impact sensor. This causes mismatch between the learned and actual components connected to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module.

DTC B1019 can set with no other DTCs if an unused deployment loop or impact sensor circuit is shorted to ground. This causes a mismatch between the learned and actual components connected to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module.

SIR Disabling and Enabling

SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components refer to SIR Identification Views .

There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.

SIR Service Precautions

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply. The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.

General Service Instructions

The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the vehicle and return it to its original integrity

1. Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).

Impact Sensor Replacement Guidelines

The impact sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of the accident damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle impacts a object. If the vehicle has an impact sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be replaced.

1. Replace the impact sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
2. Replace the impact sensor even if it appears to be undamaged.

Impact sensor damage which is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the wire insulation, can cause improper operation of the SIR system. Do not try to determine whether the impact sensor is undamaged, replace the impact sensor. Also, if you follow a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) procedure and a malfunctioning impact sensor is indicated, replace the impact sensor.

Inflatable Restraint Module Handling and Scrapping

Special Tools

1. EL-38826 SIR Deployment Harness
2. EL-39401-B SIR Deployment Fixture

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

Live and Undeployed Air Bag

Take special care when handling or storing an undeployed air bag. An air bag deployment produces a rapid generation of gas. This may cause the air bag, or an object in front of the air bag, to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment.

Dual Stage Air Bags

Dual stage air bags have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage air bag, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage air bag must be treated as an active air bag. If disposal of a dual stage air bag is required, both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag.

Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live and undeployed air bag. Do NOT dispose a live and undeployed air bag through normal disposal channels until the air bag has been deployed.

Do not deploy the air bag in the following situations

1. After replacement of an air bag under warranty-the air bag may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
2. If the vehicle is the subject of a product liability claim, related to the SIR system and is subject to a preliminary investigation - do NOT alter the SIR system in any manner.
3. If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the air bags - follow the instructions in the campaign service bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.

Deployment Procedures

Note. Some countries, states or localities may not allow service deployment of air bags without special permission or training. Local laws regarding deploying and scrapping of air bags/devices with pyrotechnics must be followed.

You can deploy the air bag either inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used depends upon the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to determine which will work best in a given situation

SIR System Overview

The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system supplements the protection offered by the seat belts. The SIR system contains an inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), air bags, seat belt pretensioners (anchor and retractor), and impact sensors. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module determines the severity of a collision with the assistance of impact sensors located at strategic points on the vehicle. When the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module detects a collision, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will process the information provided by the sensors to further support air bag or pretensioner deployment. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will deploy the air bags and pretensioners if it detects a collision of sufficient force. If the force of the impact is not sufficient to warrant air bag deployment, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module may still deploy the seat belt pretensioners. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module contains a sensing device that converts vehicle velocity changes to an electrical signal. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module compares these signals to values stored in memory. If the signals exceed a stored value, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will determine the severity of the impact and either cause current to flow through the frontal deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags and pretensioners, or it will deploy the pretensioners only. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module continuously monitors the deployment loops for malfunctions and illuminates the SIR system AIR BAG indicator if a fault is detected. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module performs continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components. Upon detection of a circuit malfunction, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will set a DTC and inform the driver by illuminating the SIR system AIR BAG indicator. The steering column and knee bolsters are designed to absorb energy and compress during frontal collisions in order to limit leg movement and decrease the chance of injury to the driver and passenger.

SIR System AIR BAG Indicator

The SIR system AIR BAG indicator, located in the instrument cluster, is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module is communicating with the instrument cluster. When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module is supplied with ignition positive voltage. The instrument cluster will momentarily turn on the SIR system AIR BAG indicator. While the indicator is on, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module conducts tests on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will communicate with the instrument cluster through the serial data circuit and command the SIR system AIR BAG indicator OFF. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module provides continuous monitoring of the air bag circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and command the instrument cluster to illuminate the SIR system AIR BAG indicator via serial data. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the air bags or deployment in conditions less severe than intended. The SIR system AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.

Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module contains internal sensors along with external impact sensors, mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module compares the signals from the internal and external impact sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated signals exceed the stored value, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to deploy the air bags. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and illuminates the SIR system AIR BAG indicator located in the instrument cluster. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module performs continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the ignition is turned ON. If the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will request the instrument cluster to illuminate the SIR system AIR BAG indicator, notifying the driver that a malfunction exists. In the event that ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module maintains a 23-volt loop reserve for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23-volt loop reserve to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

Air Bags

This vehicle contains 8 air bags. The 8 air bags are located in the steering wheel (dual air bags), instrument panel (passenger side) (dual air bags), driver seat side (B-pillar), passenger seat side (B-pillar), left roof rail, right roof rail, left rear seat side (C-pillar), and the right rear seat side (C-pillar). To view the locations of the air bags refer to SIR Identification Views . Air bags contain a housing, inflatable air bag, two initiating devices (if dual air bags), canister of gas generating material and, in some cases, stored compressed gas. The deployment loops supply current to deploy the air bags. The driver steering wheel and passenger instrument panel air bags have two stages of deployment, which varies the amount of restraint to the occupant according to the collision severity. For moderate frontal collisions the air bags deploy at less than full deployment which consists of stage 1 of the air bag. For more severe frontal collisions a full deployment is initiated which consists of stage 1 and stage 2 of the air bag. The current passing through the air bags ignite the material in the canister producing a rapid generation of gas and is some cases, the release of compressed gas. The gas produced from this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag. Once the air bag is inflated it quickly deflates through the air bag vent holes and/or the bag fabric. A shorting bar (if equipped) is located in the connector.

Seat Belt Pretensioners (Anchor and Retractor)

The seat belt pretensioners (driver and passenger) consist of a housing, seat belt retractor (located in the B-pillar), seat belt anchor (located on the floor), seat belt webbing, an initiator, and a canister of gas generating materials. To view the locations of the seat belt pretentioners refer to SIR Identification Views . The initiator is part of the seat belt pretensioner deployment loop. When the vehicle is involved in a collision of sufficient force, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module causes current to flow through the seat belt deployment loops to the initiator. Current passing through the initiator ignites the material in the canister producing a rapid generation of gas. The gas produced from this reaction deploys the seat belt pretensioners which removes all of the slack in the seat belts. Depending on the severity of the collision, the seat belt pretensioners may deploy without the frontal air bags deploying, or they will deploy immediately before the frontal air bags deploy. A shorting bar (if equipped) is located in the connector.

Impact Sensors

This vehicle contains 6 impact sensors. There are 6 impact sensors which are located in the front of the vehicle (2, left and right), and the 4 doors. To view the locations of the impact sensors refer to SIR Identification Views . The impact sensors contain a sensing device which monitors vehicle acceleration and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant air bag deployment. The impact sensors are not part of the deployment loop, but instead provide input to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the appropriate air bags.

Passenger Presence Detection System and Passenger Air Bag Indicator

Note. The passenger presence system (PPS) is a calibrated unit. When replacing the assembly all parts in the service kit must remain together. Do not mix any of the old parts with the new parts. After repairing or replacing the passenger presence system, the preload test must be performed in order to function properly.

The passenger presence detection system (PPS) is used to monitor the type of occupant that is sitting in the front passenger seat and communicate the status to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module then uses this information to determine whether to enable or suppress the deployment of the passenger instrument panel air bag. The passenger presence detection system consists of an electronic control module, a sensor mat in the seat, a harness, and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. The passenger presence detection system transmits and receives a low-level electric field. The measured capacitance value of this field is used to determine the type of occupant sitting in the front passenger seat. If the measured capacitance is less than a calibrated value, then the passenger presence module will send a hard wire signal to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module to disable the passenger instrument panel air bag. If the measured capacitance is greater than a calibrated value, then the passenger presence module will send a serial data signal to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module to enable the passenger instrument panel air bag. The passenger presence detection system module will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating one of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicator. The passenger presence detection system monitors itself for faults and will displays diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on the scan tool. When a fault is detected, the passenger presence module sends out a message to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module responds by sending a command message to the instrument panel cluster to illuminate the SIR system AIR BAG indicator.

Seat Belt Indicators

The seat belt indicators are controlled through the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). For further information on seat belt indicators refer to Seat Belt System Description and Operation .
