DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 7
PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP IS SHORTED
TO GROUND
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and
diagnostic module(SDM) will perform turn–on test to diag-
nose critical malfunctions within SDM itself.
Upon passing these test ignition and deployment loop volt-
ages are measured to ensure that they are within their nor-
mal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the
driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to
ground or voltage in the deploy loops.The SDM checks the wiring connection to the passenger
airbag module by letting the infinitesimal current flow
through the internal circuit and verify the resistance. If the
resistance is in the 2 kilo ohms between 10 kilo ohms, the
defect may occur depending upon SDM. The normal re-
sistance is over 10 kilo ohms.
DTC 7 Will Set When
S The airbag wiring of passenger’s high is shorted to
ground.
S The airbag wiring of passenger’s low is shorted to
ground.

CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic module(SDM)
can maintain sufficient voltage to deploy the airbags
and pretensioners for 1 minute after the ignition is
OFF and the fuse has been removed. If the airbags
and pretensioners are not disconnected, do not be-
gin service until one minute has passed after discon-
necting power to SDM. Otherwise, injury could result.
CAUTION : During service procedure, be very careful
when handling the SDM. Never strike or jar the SDM.Never power the supplemental inflatable re-
straints(SIR) when the SDM is not rigidly attached to
the vehicle. All SDM mounting bolts must be carefully
tightened , and the arrow on the SDM must be point
toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper op-
eration of the SIR. The SDM could be activated if it is
powered when it is not rigidly attached to the vehicle,
resulting in unexpected deployment and possible in-
jury.

HANDLING, INSTALLATION AND
DIAGNOSIS
S Airbag modules should not be subjected to temper-
ature above 65 degrees Celsius(149 degrees Fahr-
enheit).
S An airbag and SDM should not be used if it has
been dropped from height of 0.9 meters(3 feet) or
greater.
S When an SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with
the arrow on the SDM pointing toward the front of
the vehicle.
S It is very important for the SDM to be installed flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle’s
longitudinal axis.
S To avoid setting diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs), do
not apply power to the SIR unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart request it.
S The SIR Diagnostic System Check must be the
starting point of any SIR diagnostics. The SIR Diag-
nostic System Check will verify proper airbag indi-
cator operation and will lead you to correct chart to
diagnose any SIR malfunctions. Bypassing these
procedures may result in extended diagnostic time
incorrect parts replacement.
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
CAUTION : Any repairs to the vehicle’s structure
must return it to the original production configu-
ration. Deployment requires replacement of
SDM, the inflator modules and a dimensional in-
spection of the steering column.
S If any SIR components are damaged, they must be
replaced. If SIR components mounting points are
damaged, they must be repaired or replaced.
S Never use SIR parts from another vehicle. This
does not include remanufactured parts purchased
from an authorized source.
S Do not attempt to service the SDM, the clock spring
or other airbag modules, these items must be re-
placed if they are defective.
S Verify the part number of replaced airbag modules.
Some inflator modules look identical but contain
different internal components.

ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT
COMPONENTS REPLACEMENTS
All SIR components must be replaced after frontal
crash involving airbag deployment. After deployment,
a powdery residue may be on the surface of the air-
bag. The powder consists primarily of corn-
starch(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by–
products of the chemical reaction. The sodium
hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric mois-
ture and is converted to sodium bicarbonate(also
known as baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that
sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.
Replace the following SIR components.
CAUTION : Wear gloves and safely glasses dur-
ing the disposal procedure. Refer to ”Deployed
airbag module disposal procedure” in this sec-
tion.

ACCIDENT WITHOUT DEPLOYMENT
COMPONENT INSPECTION
Certain inspection must be performed after any
crash, whether the airbag has deployed or not. :
S The steering column must be dimensionally in-
spected.
S Inspect the knee bolsters and mounting points for
distortion, bending and cracking or other damages.
S Inspect the instrument panel(I/P) and steering col-
umn reinforcement plate for distorsion, bending and
cracking or other damage.
S Inspect the I/P braces for distortion, bending and
cracking or other damage.
S Inspect the seat belt and mounting points. Refer to
Section 8A, Seat Belts.
SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC
MODULE (SDM)
CAUTION : During service procedure, be very
careful when handling the SDM. Never strike or
jar the SDM. Never power the supplemental inflat-
able restraints(SIR) when the SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. All SDM mounting bolts
must be carefully tightened , and the arrow on the
SDM must be point toward the front of the vehicle
to ensure proper operation of the SIR. The SDM
could be activated if it is powered when it is not
rigidly attached to the vehicle, resulting in unex-
pected deployment and possible injury.

3. Remove the connector from the driver airbag mod-
ule.
4. Remove the driver airbag module.
CAUTION : When handling an airbag module, al-
ways keep the top the unit facing upward. This
leaves room for the airbag to expand if the mod-
ule unexpectedly deploys. Without room for ex-
pansion, a module suddenly propelled toward a
person or object can cause injury or vehicle dam-
age.
5. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order.
Installation Notice
Tightening torque of the driver airbag module mount-
ing bolt is 8 NSm (71 lb–in).
CLOCK SPRING
Removal and Installation Procedure
CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic mod-
ule(SDM) can maintain sufficient voltage to
deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 min-
ute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been
removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not
disconnected, do not begin service until one
minute has passed after disconnecting power to
SDM. If the airbags are disconnected, service can
be excuted immediately without waiting for one–
minute time period to expire. Failure to tempo-
rarily disable the SIR during service can result in
unexpected deployment, personal injury and un-
necessary SIR repairs.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the driver airbag module. Refer to ”Driver
airbag module” in this section.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Section 6E,
Steering Wheel and Column.
4. Remove the screws from the upper and lower
steering column covers. And remove the covers.

5. Remove the driver side knee bolster or instrument
panel lower cover.
6. Disconnect the driver airbag, horn and connectors
from the lower steering column.
7. Remove the screws and discard them.
8. Remove the clock spring from the steering shaft.
9. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order. Refer to ”Clock Spring Align-
ment” in this section for alignment.
Tightening torque of the clock spring screw is 3 NSm
(27 lb–in).
CAUTION : If the clock spring is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be able to ro-
tate completely during a turn. Restricted turning
ability can cause the vehicle to crash. Improper
alignment of the clock spring also may make the
SIR inoperative, preventing the airbag from de-
ploying during crash. Both of the out comes can
result in injury.
CLOCK SPRING ALIGNMENT
Notice : Turning the clock spring more than three turns
clockwise or counterclockwise can damage the spring.
1. Turn the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Turn the lobe of clock spring clockwise to lock (Do
not force).
3. Then turn the lobe of clock spring counterclockwise
approximately three turns to the neutral position,
with the front of the wheels straight ahead.
4. Properly align the pointed marks on the compo-
nents of the clock spring.
