Circuit Description

2007 Pontiac Wave LT, 4D Hatchback, Standard, Y4M/MLMSECTION Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the SDM recognizes ignition voltage greater than 9 volts at the SDM, the air bag indicator flashes 7 times to verify operation. At this time the SDM performs turn-on tests followed by resistance measurement tests and continuous monitoring tests.

When malfunction is detected, the SDM sets a current DTC and illuminates the air bag indicator.

When the malfunction 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 B1620, B1650, B1651, B1652, B1657. DTCs B1620, B1650, B1651, B1652, B1657 will not be cleared by a scan tool because these codes require replacement of the SDM. The SDM must be replaced only after the malfunction that set the DTC has been repaired.
