3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

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

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

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) contains a device that converts vehicle velocity changes into an electrical signal. The SDM compares this electrical signal to a value stored in memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM performs additional signal processing and compares the generated signals to values stored in memory. When two of the generated signals exceed the stored values, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment loops, deploying the air bags and/or pretensioners causing DTC B0052 to set.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

B0052

1. The SDM detects a frontal impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of the frontal air bags.
2. The SDM detects a side impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of a side impact air bag and/or roof rail air bag.
3. The SDM has deployed the seat belt buckle pretensioner for 3 separate deployments.

1. The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the Service Air Bag indicator.
2. The SDM records crash data.

After an air bag deployment or 3 separate buckle pretensioner deployments the DTC becomes latched and cannot be cleared.

The passenger presence sensor continually monitors itself and if a fault in this circuit occurs, a DTC will set in the passenger presence module. When the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects this DTC within the passenger presence module, it will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating the OFF indicator on the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. Then the passenger presence module will communicate to the SDM through serial data communications that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will then disable the deployment of the passenger instrument panel air bag and then illuminate the AIR BAG warning indicator.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

1. The SDM has received a fault message from the passenger presence module.
2. The passenger presence module detects a wet seat fault if DTC B0074 0F is set.

1. The SDM disables the passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop.
2. The SDM will illuminate the OFF portion of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicator.
3. The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) 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.

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.

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. PPS comes in as part of a service kit which contains a seat foam, presence sensor and a electronic control unit (ECU) module (if applicable). When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector: Passenger presence module Passenger presence sensor wiring harness

1. Verify that no other passenger presence module DTCs are set. If other passenger presence module DTCs are set, investigate those DTCs first.
2. Verify that DTC B0074 0F is not set. If this DTC is set, verify there are no electronic devices on the passenger seat. If not, then verify the seat is dry by removing the trim from the seat bottom frame. IF the seat is wet, allow 24-48 hours dry time with trim completely off. If the DTC is history, do not replace the passenger presence module. Clear the passenger presence module codes.
3. Verify that DTC B0074 00, B0074 0D, or B0074 0E is not set. If any of the DTCs are set then replace the passenger presence module.

The side impact sensor utilizes a unidirectional 2-wire circuit. The side impact sensor modulates current on the interface to send ID, state of health, and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the side impact sensor. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the side impact sensor responds by performing internal diagnostics and sending an ID to the SDM. The SDM considers the ID to be valid if the response time is less than 5 seconds. The side impact sensor continually communicates status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the side impact sensor circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM may reset the side impact sensor up to 2 times by removing and reapplying power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

The impact sensors are equipped on vehicles to supplement the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System performance. The impact sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide inputs to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The impact sensors can assist in determining the severity of some frontal and side collisions. The SDM uses the input from the impact sensors to assist in determining the severity of a collision further supporting air bag deployment. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the appropriate air bags. The center front impact sensor and side impact sensors utilize a bidirectional 2-wire circuit. The sensors modulate current on the interface to send identification, state of health, and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the sensors. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the sensors respond by performing internal diagnostics and sending an identification to the SDM. The SDM considers the identification to be valid if the response time is less than 5 seconds. The sensors continually communicate status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the sensor circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM may reset the sensors up to 2 times by removing and reapplying power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores a 4-digit primary key for the inflatable restraint vehicle roll over sensor (ROS). The SDM sends the ROS the primary key. If the ROS determines that it is the wrong primary key, the ROS will set DTC B1001 and send the SDM a vehicle mismatch message. The SDM then will set DTC B0090 3A and illuminate the SIR Warning Indicator. The ROS does not use a secondary key.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

The 4-digit primary key stored in the SDM does not match the 4-digit key stored in the ROS.

1. The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
2. The SDM disables all roll over related deployments.

The 4-digit Primary Key in the SDM and in the ROS match.

This DTC is an indication that the ROS was not set-up correctly, is not the correct part number or that the ROS is defective.

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores a primary data key, which is a 4-digit number, and a secondary data key, which is a portion of the vehicle identification number (VIN). When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM compares this information to the information stored in the body control module (BCM) over the serial data communication circuit. If there is a mismatch between the information stored in the SDM and BCM, DTC B1001 will set.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

1. The 4-digit primary data key stored in the SDM does not match the 4 digits stored in the BCM.
2. The VIN stored in the BCM does not match that of the vehicle.

1. The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
2. The SDM disables all deployments.

1. The last 4-digit Primary Data Key in the SDM match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.
2. The VIN that is stored in the SDM matches the VIN stored in the BCM.

The passenger air bag ON/OFF indicators are used to notify the driver when the passenger presence system (PPS) has enabled or disabled the passenger instrument panel air bag. When the ignition is turned ON, the ignition voltage is supplied to the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicators and to the PPS. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) grounds all indicator control circuits to the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicators for illumination. The IPC receives serial data messages from the supplemental inflatable restraints system to turn ON the indicators as necessary.

After the SDM is programmed, the SDM setup procedure is required. During this set up procedure, the SDM will compare the content that was just programmed to the actual components that are installed on the vehicle. If the SDM detects that there are too few or too many components on the system, DTC B1019 00 will set and not allow the setup procedure to complete.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

B1019 00

1. The SDM was programmed with the wrong options for the vehicle.
2. The wrong components were installed for the content of the vehicle.
3. SDM connector may have bent pins or shorting bars causing the SDM to learn deployment loops that are not actually present.

B1019 3A

1. The vehicle was configured for passenger presence system (PPS) but the SDM does not detect that the PPS indicator is present due to loss of power at indicator.
2. The vehicle is not configured for PPS and the SDM detects that the PPS indicator is present.

1. The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG warning lamp ON.
2. The SDM disables all deployments when B1019 00 DTC is set as current.

1. The correct SDM must be installed.
2. The correct components must be installed.
3. The PPS indicator operates as indicated in the «Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Description and Operation»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/airbag/#supplemental-inflatable-restraint-system) .

Introduction

The Passenger Presence System (PPS) is a calibrated system that requires checking for preloads within each region when the system has been serviced or replaced. If the passenger seat bottom cushion, seat bottom trim, or heater pad has been serviced, reinstalled, or removed for any reason, the procedure below will check for any preloads on the PPS. The PPS module cannot be tested for preload until it is unlocked using SPS programming. A service replacement PPS module does not require an unlock procedure prior to an initial preload test. Once a preload test has been performed, the PPS module will lock regardless of a pass or fail status. If a module needs to be retested, it must first be unlocked with SPS programming. Before you start, read these procedures carefully and completely. For further information regarding the PPS, refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Description and Operation .

Note. The Passenger Presence System will not function properly if the Passenger Presence System detects a preload within a region. The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle must be performed after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Scheme 7

The PPS will fail the preload test when a region has detected a preload/pressure on it. If a preload test fails, the scan tool will display a chart as illustrated below. A Yes status indicates which region(s) have a preload condition. Refer to the chart below and the above illustration to identify the failed region.

The Sensor Mat is Preloaded

Passenger Presence System Preload System Test Procedure (New Module)

1. Empty the front outboard passenger seat.
2. With the scan tool, perform the Preload Passenger Presence System procedure.
3. If the test fails, adjust the seat bottom trim, and massage the cover to ensure unwanted pressure is not present in the specified area. Proceed to the Passenger Presence System Preload Test (Existing Module) to retest after adjustment is made.
4. Once the test successfully completes, cycle the ignition key OFF.
5. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Passenger Presence System Preload System Test Procedure (Existing Module)

1. With «Service Programming System (SPS)»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/communication-devices/#programming-and-setup-all-systems__service-programming-system-sps) , unlock the PPS module.
2. Empty the front outboard passenger seat.
3. With the scan tool, perform the Preload Passenger Presence System procedure.
4. If the test fails, adjust the seat bottom trim, and massage the cover to ensure unwanted pressure is not present in the specified area, and restart the Passenger Presence System Preload Test (Existing Module).
5. Once the test successfully completes, cycle the ignition key OFF.
6. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

Symptom List

Refer to a symptom diagnostic procedure from the following list in order to diagnose the symptom

Air Bag Indicator Circuit Malfunction (Driver)

1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__strategy-based-diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/chevrolet/express-g1500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

When the ignition is turned ON, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) flashes the air bag indicator for a bulb check. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs diagnostic tests on the SIR system during the bulb check. If any malfunction exists the SDM will request the IPC to illuminate the air bag indicator steady, via serial data. If a preexisting malfunction exists, the air bag indicator will illuminate steady immediately after the ignition is turned ON. If the ignition 1 voltage is outside of the normal operating voltage range 9-16 volts, the SDM will command the IPC to illuminate the air bag indicator with no DTCs present, then disables all deployment loops.

A DTC B1370 may set if the ignition 1 circuit is outside the 9-16 volts range.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators are used to notify the driver when the Passenger Presence System (PPS) has enabled or disabled the passenger instrument panel air bag. When the ignition is turned ON, the passenger presence module will commands both PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators ON for 5 seconds. The passenger presence module conducts tests on the PPS components and circuits while both PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators are ON. If no malfunctions are detected, the passenger presence module will turn the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator ON or OFF, depending on the status of the PPS. If a malfunction is detected, the passenger presence module will store a DTC, default the PPS to the OFF state, and communicate with the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) that a DTC has been set. The SDM will request the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON to notify the driver of a malfunction.

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.

Live and Undeployed Inflator Module

Scheme 20

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

Dual Stage Inflator Module

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

Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicles useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live and undeployed inflator module. Do NOT dispose a live and undeployed inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed.

Do not deploy the inflator module in the following situations

1. After replacement of an inflator module under warranty-the inflator module may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
2. If the vehicle is the subject of a Product Liability report, GM-1241, 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 inflator modules-follow the instructions in the Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.

Deployment Procedures

You can deploy the inflator module 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

Deployment Outside Vehicle - Steering Wheel Module, I/P Module, and Roof Rail Module

Deploy the inflator module outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to service. Situations that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following

1. Using the SIR diagnostics, you determine that the inflator module is malfunctioning.
2. The inflator module is cosmetically damaged, scratched, or ripped.
3. The inflator module pigtail is damaged.
4. The inflator module connector is damaged.
5. The inflator module connector terminals are damaged.

Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning inflator module is subject to any required retention period.

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 (buckle), 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 (SDM) 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 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 5 air bags. The 5 air bags are located in the driver steering wheel (dual air bags), passenger instrument panel (passenger side) (dual air bags), left roof rail, right roof rail, and right rear roof rail. 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 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 (Buckle)

The seat belt pretensioners (driver and passenger) consist of a housing, seat belt buckle (pretensioner), 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 front air bags deploying, or they will deploy immediately before the front air bags deploy. A shorting bar (if equipped) is located in the connector.

Impact Sensors

This vehicle contains anywhere from 3-5 impact sensors depending on option content. The options are as follows

1. Light Duty has 5 impact sensors: 1 in the front, 2 in the doors, 2 in the body
2. Heavy Duty Regular Cab has 3 impact sensors: 1 in the front, 2 in the 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.

Seat Position Sensors

The seat position sensors are used to determine the proximity of a front driver or passenger seat position with respect to the front air bag. Each seat position sensor interfaces with the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). The state of the seat position sensor allows the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module to disable stage 2 of the front air bag for a front seat that is forward of the forward/rearward point in the seat track travel. The seat position sensor is a hall effect sensor that is mounted on the outboard seat track of the driver and passenger seats. The seat track includes a metal bracket that shunts the seat position sensor magnetic circuit creating 2 states of seat position, the shunted state represents a rearward seat position and the non-shunted state represents a forward position. The seat position sensor provides 2 current ranges, one range for the shunted state and a second range for a non-shunted state which are inputs to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module. When the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module receives input from a seat position sensor that state 1 threshold is reached (seat is rearward), the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will enable stage 2 deployment. When state 2 threshold is reached (seat is forward), the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will disable stage 2 deployment on the side the seat is forward.

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 PPS, the preload test must be performed in order to function properly.

The passenger presence system 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 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 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 serial data 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 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating one of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicator. The passenger presence 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 IPC to illuminate the SIR system AIR BAG indicator.

Vehicle Roll Over Sensor

The vehicle roll over sensor is used to supplement the side Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) uses the input from the vehicle roll over sensor to assist in determining the severity of a vehicle roll over or near roll over condition. If the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module determines a deployment is warranted, the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the roof rail air bags.

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
