Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
Diagnostic Chart:
When ignition is switched On, system voltage is applied to terminal A1 of the SDM from the IGN 1 fuse in the UHFB. The SDM self-checks the system voltage and deployment loop while the I/P cluster performs a bulb check by flashing the AIR BAG telltale seven times. If a diagnostic trouble code is detected, the SDM will command the I/P cluster to light the AIR BAG telltale when the bulb check is complete. If no DTC is detected, the telltale will not light The SDM communicates with the I/P cluster on circuit 1807.
