DTC 24  Driver Deployment Loop Short To Ground

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 monitors the voltage at “Driver Bag Low”
terminal “4” and “passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” to
detect shorts to ground in the air bag assembly circuits.

DTC Will Set When:

Neither of the two air bag assemblies is open.
“Ignition 1” is within the normal operating voltage range.
This test is run once each ignition cycle and “Continuous
Monitoring”.  Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at “Driver Bag Low” is below a specified value,
DTC 24 will set.

Action Taken:

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

DTC Will Clear When:

The malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition 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 SDM is

malfunctioning

3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the

SRS coil assembly yellow 2–pin connector at the
base of the steering column.

4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

IB05–YEL.

5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

IB06–YEL/BLK.

6. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.

Diagnostic Aids:

An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to ground in the driver air bag assembly circuit.  Inspect
IB05–YEL and IB06–YEL/BLK carefully for cutting or
chafing.

DTC 25  Driver Deployment Loop Short To B+

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 monitors the voltage at “Driver Bag Low”
terminal “4” and “Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” to
detect shorts to B+ in the air bag assembly circuits.

DTC Will Set When:

“Ignition 1” is in the normal operating voltage range.  This
test is run once each ignition cycle and “Continuous
monitoring”.  Once these conditions are met and the
voltage at “Driver Bag Low” is above a specified value,
DTC 25 will set.

Action Taken:

SDM turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and sets
DTC 25 and also DTC 71

DTC Will Clear When:

The SDM is replaced.

DTC Chart Test Description:

Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:

2. This test determines whether the SDM is

malfunctioning. 

3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the

driver air bag assembly yellow 2–pin connector at
the base of steering column.

4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

IB05–YEL.

5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

IB06–YEL/BLK.

6. This test determines whether the malfunction is in

the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.

Diagnostic Aids:

An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to B+ in the driver air bag assembly circuit.  Inspect
IB05–YEL and IB06–YEL/BLK carefully for cutting or
chafing. If the wiring pigtail of the driver air bag assembly
and SRS coil assembly is damaged, the components
must be replaced.  A careful inspection of IB05–YEL and
IB06–YEL/BLK, including the SRS coil assembly and
driver air bag assembly is essential to ensure that the
replacement SDM will not be damaged.
