DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in the
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
3. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow 2–
pin connector.
4. This test checks for proper contact and/or corrosion
of the yellow 2–pin connector terminals.
5. The test checks for a malfunctioning passenger air
bag assembly.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is due
to high resistance in the wiring.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at the passenger air bag assembly harness
connector terminals “1" and “2", SDM terminal “15" and
“16", or a poor wire to terminal connection in
Circuits(CKTs) IB07–YELLOW/GREEN and IB08–
YELLOW/RED. This test for this diagnostic trouble
code is only run while the “AIR BAG" warning lamp is
performing the bulb check, unless Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) 17 or DTC 26 is detected. When a scan
tool “Clear Codes" command is issued and the
malfunction is still present, the DTC will not reappear
until the next ignition cycle.
