FAULTCODE 13
Air Bag Shorted to Ground
Normal Operation
The DM monitors voltage level at pins 11 and 12 which varies in accordance with charging voltage. If voltage measured
at these two pins falls below 2V the MIL Lamp will illuminate and fault code 13 will be present, indicating a possible
short to ground.
During the presence of fault code 13 the DM internal thermal fuse will blow, disabling the air bag deployment circuit.
If voltage to pins 11 and 12 is restored after the fuse has blown, fault code 51, open internal fuse,
will also be present.
Fault code 13 will be present only as long as the short to ground remains.
Possible Causes
Short to ground in any of the following circuits:
0 Air bag supply wiring.
0 Air bag internal.
0 Cable reel cassette internal.
0 Safing sensor supply wiring.
0 Safing sensor internal.
Fault Diagnosis
1. Air bag(s) -short circuit
. Disarm the SRS system.
. Disconnect both air bag modules multi-plug connector.
. Switch ignition ON.
. Is fault code 13 still present ?
Yes - Proceed to step 2.
No - Proceed to step 3.
2. Cable reel cassette
-short circuit
Examine wiring and connector where cable reel cassette mates to the main harness, below the steering column.
If a fault cannot be located, disconnect cable reel cassette from main harness.
. Connect air bag simulator to the main vehicle harness in place of the cable reel cassettes.
. Measure resistance between pin 11 DM and pin 3 (ground).
. Is pin 11 short circuit to ground ?
No - Proceed to fault code 51.
Yes
- Examine wiring and connections between DM, both air bags and safing sensor. Rectify faults as necessary.
If a fault is located, rectify and proceed to step 3.
3. Air bag modules
-check
. Ensure shorting bar is correctly installed to passenger-side air bag connector.
. Measure resistance between connector terminals and module casing.
If resistance value shows a short to ground, renew the module.
. If resistance shows open circuit, repeat test for driver-side module, renew as necessary.
Proceed to fault code 51 on successful diagnosis.

FAULTCODE 14
Front Impact Sensor Circuit Shorted to Ground
Normal Operation
The DM monitors voltage level at pins 2 and 6. If this voltage falls to 5 volts, or less, the MIL Lamp will illuminate and
fault code 14 will be present, indicating a short circuit to ground on either of the two front impact sensorcircuits. During
the presence of fault code 14 the DM internal thermal fuse will blow, disabling the air bag deployment circuit. If voltage
to pins
2 and 6 is restored after the fuse has blown,fault code 51, open internal fuse will be present. Fault code 14 will
be present only as long as the short to ground remains.
Possible Causes
Short to ground in any of the following circuits:
0 Front impact sensor wiring.
0 Disconnection, or poor connection of harness.
0 Front impact sensors internal ground.
Fault Diagnosis
1. Sub-circuit identification
. Disarm SRS system.
. Remove plastic locking wedge from the grey DM connector.
. Measure resistance between connector pin 3 and all of the following pins; 2,6, 17 and 18.
9 Does any resistance reading indicate short circuit ?
Yes - Renew faulty sensor.
No - Examine sensor wiring harness, locate and rectify faults as necessary.
Proceed to fault code 51 on successful diagnosis.

FAULT CODE 24
Safing Impact Sensor Output Feed / Return Open Circuit
Normal Operation
The DM measures voltage level at pins 11 and 12 which varies in accordance with battery voltage. DM calculates what
the value at pins 11 and 12 should be from the value measured at pin 13, battery voltage. If voltage measured at pins 11 and 12 is not as expected by DM the MIL Lamp will illuminate and fault code 24 will be present, indicating a safing
sensor circuit fault.
