RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM

The SDM displays the trouble codes by flashing the
warning lamp. Each code that is displayed will consist of a
number of flashes which represents the tens digit, a 1.2
second pause, following by a number of flashes which
represents the ones digit of the code. Each code is
displayed one time before moving on to the next code.
After all of the codes have been displayed, the entire code
sequence will continually by repeated until ground is
removed from terminal 4 of the DLC connector.
Two special codes exist when reading in the flash code
mode (Flash Code 12 and Flash Code 13).  “Flash Code
12“ will always be the first code displayed when the flash
code mode is enable Code 12 is not an indication of a SRS
problem but an indication that the flash code mode has
been enabled.  If there are no active or history codes
present, the SDM will display code 12 until ground is
removed from the DLC connector at terminal 4.  “flash
Code 13” will be displayed if  history codes are present. To
read the history codes a scan tool must be used.

SRS Diagnostic System Check

The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to find and repair SRS malfunctions.  To get the
best results, it is important to use the diagnostic charts
and follow the sequence listed below:
A. Perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check.”

The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics.  The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” checks for proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation, the ability of the SDM
to communicate through the “Serial Data” line and
whether SRS diagnostic trouble codes exist.

B. Refer to the proper diagnostic chart as directed by the

“SRS Diagnostic System Check.”
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect
parts replacement.

C. Repeat the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” after any

repair or diagnostic procedures have been
preformed.
Performing the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” after
all repair or diagnostic procedures will ensure that the
repair has been made correctly and that no other
malfunctions exist

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1”
voltage is applied from the “C–21” fuse to the SDM at the
“Ignition 1” input terminals “12”.  The SDM responds by
flashing the “AIR BAG” warning lamp turn on 3.5 seconds,
while performing tests on the SRS.

Notes On System Check Chart:

1. The “AIR BAG” warning lamp should turn on 3.5

seconds after ignition is first turned “ON”.

2. After the “AIR BAG” warning lamp turn on 3.5

seconds, it should turn “OFF”

3. This test checks for the proper operation of the

“Serial Data” line.  This test will also determine
whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored
and, if so, identify them.

4. Improper operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp

is indicated.  This test differentiates a warning lamp
stays “ON” condition from a warning lamp does not
come “ON” condition. 

5. This test checks for proper operation of the “Serial

Data” line.  This test will also identify the stored
diagnostic trouble codes and whether they are
current or history.

Diagnostic Aids:

The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are
diagnosed is very important.  Failure to diagnose the

diagnostic trouble codes in the order specified may result

in  extended  diagnostic  time,  incorrect  diagnosis  and
incorrect parts replacement.

Chart A  SDM Integrity Check

D09RW014

Circuit Description:

When the SDM recognizes “Ignition 1” voltage, applied to
terminals “12”, is greater than 9 volts, the “AIR BAG”
warning lamp is turned on 3.5 seconds to verify operation.
At this time the SDM performs “Turn–ON” tests followed
by “Continuous Monitoring” tests.  When a malfunction is
detected, the SDM sets a current diagnostic trouble code
and illuminates the “AIR BAG” warning lamp. The SDM
will clear current diagnostic trouble codes and move them
to a history file when the malfunction is no longer detected
and/or the ignition switch is cycled, except for DTCs 19,
25, 51, 53 and 71.  DTC 71 can only be cleared using a
scan tool “Clear Codes” command.  If DTCs 51, 53 are not
indicated then DTC 71 is not existing. DTCs 51, 53 and 71
can not be cleared after a “Clear Codes” command is
issued.

Chart Test Description: 

Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
1. This test confirms a current malfunction.  If no

current malfunction is occurring (history DTC set)
the “Diagnostic Aids” for the appropriate diagnostic
trouble code should be referenced.  The SDM
should not be replaced for a history diagnostic
trouble code.

2. This test checks for a malfunction introduced into the

SRS during the diagnostic process.  It is extremely
unlikely that a malfunctioning SDM would cause a
new malfunction to occur during the diagnostic
process.

3. When all circuitry outside the SDM has been found

to operate properly, as indicated by the appropriate
diagnostic chart, then and only then should the SDM
be replaced.
