B1384

DTC B1384

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within SDM itself.

Upon passing these test ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that they are within their normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deploy loops.

The SDM checks the wiring connection to the passenger side airbag module by letting the infinitesimal current flow through the internal circuit and verify the resistance.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1384 RF Side Deployment Loop Short to Ground

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The side air bag wiring of the passenger high is shorted to ground.
* The side air bag wiring of the passenger low is shorted to ground.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
