DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
When the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects
any problem it illuminates the airbag warning indicator and
stores the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
The supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) diagnostic
system check must be always the starting point for any
SIR diagnosis. The diagnostic system check reveals diag-
nostic trouble codes (DTCs) through the use of scan tool.
It also checks for proper airbag warning lamp operation.
The two types of DTCs that may be recorded are as fol-lows :
1. Active DTCs represent malfunction being detected
during the current ignition cycle. Active DTCs are
stored in random access memory (RAM).
2. Historic DTCs represent malfunctions detected sin-
cethe last time the historic memory was cleared.
Historic DTCs are stored in the electrically erasable
programmable read–only memory (EPROM).

SCAN TOOL DIAGNOSTICS
A scan tool can read serial data from terminal 13 of the
data link connector(DLC). The scan tool is used to read
diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs), and to clear some DTCs
after a repair is completed. By design, DTC 51 can not becleared. And the DTC 61 can not be cleared for the ignition
cycle once the DTC has been detected by the SDM.
To use the scan tool, turn the ignition OFF, connect the
scan tool to the DLC, and turn the ignition switch to ON.
Follow the instructions in the scan tool manual. The SDM
sends serial data from terminal 9 of the SDM to terminal
13 of the DLC.

DIAGNOSTIC TIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 1
DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE IS
HIGH
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.
DTC 1 Will Set When

higher than 4.7 ohms.

DTC 1 Driver Airbag Deployment Loop Resistance Is High
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.
