RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM
DTC 24 Driver Deployment Loop Short To Ground
D09R200001
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
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltage at ªDriver Bag Lowº
terminal ª4º and ªPassenger Bag Lowº terminal ª16º to
detect shorts to ground in the air bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
Neither of the two air bag assemblies is open.
ªIgnition 1º is within the normal operating voltage range.
This test is run once each ignition cycle and ªContinuous
Monitoringº. Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at ªDriver Bag Lowº is below a specified value,
DTC 24 will set.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When:
The malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition is
turned ªOFF.º
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
SRS coil assembly yellow 2±pin connector at the
base of the steering column.
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
CKT IB05±YEL.

5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
CKT IB06±YEL/BLK.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to ground in the driver air bag assembly circuit. Inspect
CKTs IB05±YEL and IB06±YEL/BLK carefully for cutting
or chafing.

DTC 25 Driver Deployment Loop Short To Voltage
D09R200001
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
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltage at ªDriver Bag Lowº
terminal ª4º and ªPassenger Bag Lowº terminal ª16º to
detect shorts to B+ in the air bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
ªIgnition 1º is in the normal operating voltage range. This
test is run once each ignition cycle and ªContinuous
Monitoringº. Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at ªDriver Bag Lowº is above a specified value,
DTC 25 will set.

6. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag

Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to B+ in the driver air bag assembly circuit. Inspect CKTs
IB05±YEL and IB06±YEL/BLK carefully for cutting or
chafing. If the wiring pigtail of the driver air bag assembly
and SRS coil assembly is damaged, the components
must be replaced. A careful inspection of CKT IB05±YEL
and IB06±YEL/BLK, including the SRS coil assembly and
driver air bag assembly is essential to ensure that the
replacement SDM will not be damaged.

CAUTION: When DTC 25 has been set, it is necessary to replace the SDM. Setting DTC 25 will also cause DTC
71 to set. When a scan tool ªCLEAR CODESº command is issued and the malfunction is no longer present,
DTC 71 will remain current. Ensure that the short to voltage condition is repaired prior to installing a
replacement SDM to avoid damaging the SDM.

DTC 26 Driver Deployment Loop Open
D09R200001
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
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
During ªContinuous Monitoringº diagnostics, a fixed
amount of current is following in the deployment loop.
This produces proportional voltage drops in the loop. By
monitoring the voltage difference between ªDriver Bag
Highº and ªDriver Bag Lowº, the SDM calculates the
combined resistance of the driver air bag assembly, SRS
coil assembly, harness wiring CKTs IB05±YEL and
IB06±YEL/BLK, and connector terminal contact.
DTC Will Set When:
The voltage difference between ªDriver Bag Highº
terminal ª3º and ªDriver Bag Lowº terminal ª4º is above orequal to a specified value for 500 milliseconds during
ªContinuous Monitoring.º
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When:
The voltage difference between ªDriver Bag Highº
terminal ª3º and ªDriver Bag Lowº terminal ª4º is below a
specified value for 500 milliseconds during ªContinuous
Monitoring.º
DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
1. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SDM.

2. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow
2±pin connector at the base of the steering column.
3. This test checks for proper contact and/or corrosion
of the yellow 2±pin connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the
SRS coil assembly yellow 2±pin connector located
at the base of steering column.
5. This test determines whether the open is in the
wiring.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at the driver air bag assembly harness 2±pin
connector terminals ª1º and ª2º at the top of the steering
column, SRS coil assembly harness 2±pin connection
terminals ª1º and ª2º, SDM terminals ª3º and ª4º, or an
open in CKTs IB05±YEL and IB06±YEL/BLK.
