DTC 22 Driver Deployment Loop Resistance Low
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 then proceeds with the ªResistance Measurement
Testº ªDriver Bag Lowº terminal ª4º is grounded through a
current sink and the driver current source connected to
ªDriver Bag Highº terminal ª3º allows a known amount of
current to flow. 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 combined resistance of the driver air bag assembly,
SRS coil assembly, harness wiring CKTs IB05±YEL and
IB06±YEL/BLK and connector terminal contact is above a
specified value. This test is run once each ignition cycle
during the ªResistance Measurement Testº when:
1. No ªhigher priority faultsº are detected during
ªTurn±ONº
2. ªIgnition 1º voltage is in the specified value.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets
DTC 22.
DTC Will Clear When:
The ignition switch 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 malfunction is in
the SDM.
3. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow
2±pin connector at the base of the steering column.
4. This test checks for proper operation of the shorting
clip in the yellow 2±pin connector.
5. This test isolate the malfunction to one side of the
SRS coil assembly yellow 2±pin connector located
at the base of steering column.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is due
to shorting in the wiring.
7. 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
between CKT IB05±YEL or IB06±YEL/BLK or a
malfunctioning shorting clip on the driver air bag
assembly or SRS coil assembly which would require
replacement of the component. The test for this
diagnostic trouble code is only run while the ªAIR BAGº
warning lamp is performing the bulb check, unless DTC
17 or DTC 26 is detected. When a scan tool ªClear
Codesº command is issued and the malfunction is still
present, the DTC will not reappear until the next ignition
cycle.

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
