DTC 45 Driver Pretensioner Loop Short To Ground
D09RW014
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, “Ignition 1”, and
pretensioner loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltage at “Driver Belt Low”
terminal “22” and “passenger Belt Low” terminal “10” to
detect shorts to ground in the air bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
Neither of the air bag and the pretensioner belt are open.
“Ignition 1” is within the normal operating voltage range.
This test is run once each ignition cycle and “Continuous
Monitoring”. Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at “Driver Belt Low” is below a specified value,
DTC 45 will set.
Action Taken:
SDM turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When:
The malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition is
turned “OFF”.
DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the SDM is
malfunctioning
3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the
driver pretensioner assembly yellow 2–pin
connector at the base of the driver seat.
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
IB13–BLU/RED.
5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
IB14–BLU/YEL.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to ground in the driver pretensioner assembly circuit.
Inspect IB13–BLU/RED and IB14–BLU/YEL carefully for
cutting or chafing.

DTC 46 Driver Pretensioner Loop Short To Voltage
D09RW014
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, “Ignition 1”, and
pretensioner loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltage at “Driver Belt Low”
terminal “22” and “Passenger Belt Low” terminal “10” to
detect shorts to B+ in the pretensioner assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
“Ignition 1” is in the normal operating voltage range. This
test is run once each ignition cycle and “Continuous
monitoring”. Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at “Driver Belt Low” is above a specified value,
DTC 46 will set.
Action Taken:
SDM turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and sets
DTC 46.
DTC Will Clear When:
The malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition is
turned “OFF”.
DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the SDM is
malfunctioning.
3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the
driver pretensioner assembly yellow 2–pin
connector at the base of the driver seat.
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
IB13–BLU/RED.
5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
IB14–BLU/YEL.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to B+ in the driver pretensioner assembly circuit. Inspect
IB13–BLU/RED and IB14–BLU/YEL carefully for cutting
or chafing. If the wiring pigtail of the driver pretensioner
assembly is damaged, the components must be
replaced. A careful inspection of IB13–BLU/RED and
IB14–BLU/YEL, including the driver pretensioner
assembly is essential to ensure that the replacement
SDM will not be damaged.

DTC 52 Deployment Event Commanded
WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SENSING AND
DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM). NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SDM. NEVER POWER UP THE PRETENSIONER
WHEN THE SDM IS NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SDM AND MOUNTING BRACKET
FASTENERS MUST BE CAREFULLY TORQUED AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT
OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PRETENSIONER. THE SDM COULD BE
ACTIVATED WHEN POWERED WHILE NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE
DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
