IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion to the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- The vehicle rollover sensor
- The SDM module
- The vehicle rollover sensor harness connector
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Verify DTC B0090 39 or B0090 71 is not set.
- If either DTC is set, replace the rollover sensor.
- Verify DTC B0090 3A is not set.
- If the DTC is set, verify the correct part number ROS is installed in the vehicle. If the installed ROS is incorrect, replace the ROS.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ROS.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the signal circuit terminal 5 at the ROS harness connector and the signal circuit terminal 58 at the SDM harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal 5 at the ROS harness connector and B+.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ROS.
- Reconnect all SIR components. Ignition ON, verify the DTC is not set as current.
- If the DTC resets as current, replace the SDM.
