Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Programming and Setup

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) must be programmed with the proper calibration software. The module stores and utilizes this information however if it is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the SDM will not control all of the vehicle features properly.

Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for SDM programming

1. The battery is fully charged.
2. The MDI data link connectors are secure.
3. The scan tool is loaded with the most current software version.
4. All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected securely.
5. This entire procedure has been reviewed before proceeding.

Do not reprogram the SDM unless directed by a service procedure or a service bulletin.

Note. The air bag indicator light may remain ON after the body control module (BCM), or SDM is replaced, and during the programming procedure for the BCM until after the procedure is completed. When installing a new SDM, there may be several DTCs set prior to programming. Once programmed, these DTCs should be in history and can be cleared. Failure to complete the following Setup procedure may cause DTC B1001 to be set in the SDM.

The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair

Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement and/or Programming

If the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module needs to be replaced and/or reprogrammed, the following procedures must be performed

1. Access SPS. Refer to «Service Programming System (SPS)»(ref-544475-S09281140922013042400000) .
2. Perform the SPS function Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Perform the SPS function Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Clear DTCs after completing the programming procedure.

If the control module fails to program, proceed as follows

1. Ensure the DLC and Accessory Power Module connections are good.
2. Inspect the Techline equipment for the latest software version.
3. Attempt to program the SDM. If the SDM still cannot be programmed properly, replace the SDM.

Diagnostic Aids

1. During radio programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations dependant upon vehicle equipment. Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during the following procedure to ensure the correct calibrations are selected.
2. The XM satellite radio (if equipped) is integrated into the radio. If XM was activated in the previous radio, the replacement radio will require no additional activation steps. Customer subscription information is transferred to the replacement radio when a replacement radio is ordered.

The remote control door lock receiver only functions as an antenna, receiving the signals sent by the keyless entry transmitter and forwarding them to the body control module (BCM). The keyless entry software is contained wholly within the BCM.
