CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The inflatable restraint side impact module-LF deployment loop consists of the inflatable restraint side impact module-LF, the inflatable restraint side impact module wiring harness, and the side impact module-LF high and low circuits. A shorting bar used within the side impact module-LF connector shorts together the side impact module-LF high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected. This helps to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing. During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) allows current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the side impact module-LF. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in memory.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- DTC B0040 will set when the side impact module-LF deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 500 milliseconds .
- DTC B0041 will set when one of the following conditions occurs:
- Side impact module-LF high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and the side impact module-LF deployment loop is more than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds .
- Side impact module-LF deployment loop resistance is more than 4.8 ohms for 500 milliseconds .
- DTC B0045 will set when one of the following conditions occur:
- Side impact module-LF high and/or low circuits is short to ground or short to voltage for 500 milliseconds .
- Side impact module-LF high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and side impact module-LF deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds .
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
- A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
The following are possible causes of the malfunction:
- A short between the side impact module-LF high and low circuits
- An open or a high resistance in the side impact module-LF high or low circuits
- A short to ground or a short to voltage in the side impact module-LF high or low circuits
- The side impact module-LF connector
- The SDM connector
- A malfunctioning side impact module-LF
- A malfunctioning SDM
