DTC 34 Passenger Pretensioner Loop Open
D09RW014
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned ªONº, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, ªIgnition 1º, and
pretensioner loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges. During
ªContinuous Monitoringº diagnostics, a fixed amount of
current is flowing in the deployment loop. This produces
proportional voltage drops in the loop. By monitoring the
voltage difference between ªPassenger Belt Highº and
ªPassenger Belt Lowº, the SDM calculates the combined
resistance of the passenger pretensioner assembly,
harness wiring IB15±BLU/BLK AND IB16±BLU/ORG,
and connector terminal contact.
DTC Will Set When:
The voltage difference between ªPassenger pretensioner
Highº terminal ª9º and ªPassenger pretensioner Lowº
terminal ª10º is above or equal to a specified value for 500
milliseconds during ªContinuous Monitoringº.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When:
The voltage difference between ªPassenger Belt Highº
terminal ª9º and ªPassenger Belt Lowº terminal ª10º isbelow a specified value for 500 milliseconds during
ªContinuous Monitoringº.
DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SDM.
3. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow
2±pin connector.
4. This test cheeks for proper contact and/or corrosion
of the shorting clip in the yellow 2±pin connector
terminals.
5. The test checks for a malfunctioning passenger
pretensioner assembly.
6. This test determines whether the open in the wiring.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at the passenger pretensioner assembly
harness connector terminalsª1º and ª2º, SDM terminals
ª9º and ª10º, or an open in IB15±BLU/BLK and
IB16±BLU/ORG.
