R036

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
During the "Continuous Monitoring" tests the DERM monitors the voltage at "Passenger Source Sense" terminal "A6". When the circuit is operating normally the measured voltage will be slightly less than "Passenger 36 VLR." If the "Passenger 36 VLR" circuit opens, the voltage measured at "Passenger Source Sense" will decrease to slightly less than "Ignition 1" voltage. When the voltage measured at "Passenger Source Sense" is within a specified range of "Ignition 1" for 500 milliseconds DTC RO36 is set.

DTC WILL SET WHEN
The voltage measured at "Passenger Source Sense" terminal "A6" is within a specified range of "Ignition 1" for 500 milliseconds. This test is run every 100 milliseconds during "Continuous Monitoring" tests.

ACTION TAKEN
DERM turns "ON" the "AIR BAG" warning lamp and sets a diagnostic trouble code.

DTC WILL CLEAR WHEN
The voltage measured at "Passenger Source Sense" terminal "A6" is outside the specified range of "Ignition 1" which sets the diagnostic trouble code, for 500 milliseconds.

DTC CHART TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart.
1. This test checks for an open in the "Passenger 36 VLR" circuit.
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is due to high resistance in the "Passenger Source Sense" circuit.
3. This test checks for a short from the "Passenger Source Sense" circuit to B+.
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is due to the dual pole arming sensor.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor connection at dual pole arming sensor terminal "C" or "F", poor connection at DERM terminal "A3" or "A6", an open in CKT 1401 or CKT 1837, or a malfunctioning dual pole arming sensor.
