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).

SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) INTEGRITY
CHECK
The following diagnostic chart must be used when all cir-
cuitry outside the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
has been found to operate properly, as indicated by follow-
ing the appropriate diagnostic trouble code(DTC) chart.
The chart verifies the need for SDM replacement.
Circuit Description
When the SDM recognizes ignition voltage greater than 9
volts at terminal A1 of the SDM, the airbag indicator
flashes seven times to verify operation. At this time the
SDM performs turn–on tests followed by resistance mea-surement tests and continuous monitoring tests.
When malfunction is detected, the SDM sets current DTC
and illuminates the airbag indicator.
When the malfuncation is no longer detected and/or the
ignition switch is cycled, the SDM will clear current DTCs
and move them to a history file, except for the DTCs 51
and sometimes 71. DTCs 51 will not be cleared by scan
tool because these codes require replacement of SDM.
The SDM must be replaced only after the malfunction that
set the DTC has been repaired.
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) Integrity Check
CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic module
(SDM) can maimtain sufficient voltage to deploy the
airbags and pretensioners for 1 minute after the igni-
tion is OFF and the fuse has been removed. If the air-
bags and pretensioners are not disconnected, do not
begin service until one minute has passed after dis-
connecting the power to the 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 rigidlyattached to
the vehile. 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.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 25
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP FAILURE
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 thewarning lamp operates properly ”ON” and ”OFF”, SDM
checks the voltage continuously from the warning lamp
terminal.
DTC 25 Will Set When
S The warning lamp does not blinking properly ”ON”
and ”OFF”.
Reference
When the ignition switch is turned ON, in case of normal,
the warning lamp blinking 7 times during 7 seconds.
But in case, the warning lamp stays ”ON” or blinking a sec-
ond after above normal blinking(7 times during 7 sec-
onds), then it is regarded as a defect(old or current) pres-
ents. Please check the defect with scan tool.
