Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
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.
