DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00
- Option Configuration Error

Circuit/System Description

The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) stores a 4-digit primary key for the Passenger Presence Module. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module sends the Passenger Presence Module the primary key. If the Passenger Presence Module determines that it is the wrong primary key, the Passenger Presence Module will set DTC B1001 and send the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module a vehicle mismatch message. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module then will set DTC B0081 and illuminate the SIR warning indicator. The Passenger Presence Module does not use a secondary key.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 4-digit primary key stored in the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module does not match the 4-digit key stored in the Passenger Presence Module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module requests the instrument panel cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

* The passenger instrument panel air bag deployment is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The 4-digit Primary Key in the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module and in the Passenger Presence Module match.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is an indication that the passenger presence system module was not set-up correctly, is not the correct part number or that the Passenger Presence Module is defective.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.

* Passenger Presence Module

* Passenger Presence Module wiring harness

1. Verify the correct K85 Passenger Presence Module part number has been installed

If the K85 Passenger Presence Module installed has an incorrect part number, replace the K85 Passenger Presence Module

If the K85 Passenger Presence Module installed has a correct part number

2. Verify that DTC B1001 is not set as current in the K85 Passenger Presence Module.

If DTC is set as current,. If Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module part number is correct

1. Verify the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module part number is correct.

If the K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module part number is incorrect, replace the K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module

If the K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module part number is correct

2. Replace the K85 Passenger Presence Module

If the DTC is no set as current

3. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the diagnostic procedure.
