Circuit/System Description

When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. When the SDM has completed the power-up mode, the SDM will establish communication with the passenger presence system (PPS). The PPS will respond by illuminating both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators for 5 seconds. The SDM will transmit a request message to the PPS to receive the PPS verification ID. The PPS will transmit the verification ID to the SDM and the SDM will compare the ID received to data stored in memory. If the data stored in memory does not match the information transmitted by the PPS, the SDM will set DTC B0098 and illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. The PPS will set DTC 064 and request the SDM to disable the instrument panel (I/P) module deployment loop.
