DTC 15  Passenger Deployment Loop Resistance High

D09RW014

Circuit Description:

When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself.  Upon passing these tests “Ignition 1”, and
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.  The
SDM then proceeds with the “Resistance Measurement
Test”.  “Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” is grounded
through a resister and the passenger current source
connected to “Passenger Bag High” terminal “15” allows a
known amount of current to flow.  By monitoring the
voltage difference between “Passenger Bag High” and
“Passenger Bag Low” the SDM calculates the combined
resistance of the passenger air bag assembly, harness
wiring IB07–YEL/GRN and IB08–YEL/RED connector
terminal contact.

DTC Will Set When:

The combined resistance of the passenger air bag
assembly, harness wiring IB07–YEL/GRN and
IB08–YEL/RED, and connector terminal contact is above
a specified value.  This test is run once each ignition cycle
during the “Resistance Measurement Test” when:

1. No “higher priority faults” are detected during

“Turn–ON”, 

2. “Ignition 1” voltage is in the specified value.

Action Taken:

SDM turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.

DTC Will Clear When:

The ignition switch is turned “OFF.”

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 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
IB07–YEL/GRN and IB08–YEL/RED.  This test for this
diagnostic trouble code is only run while the “AIR BAG”

warning lamp is performing the bulb check, unless 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.
