DTC 080

DTC 080

Circuit Description

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

Upon passing this test, ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they are within the 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.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The side impact sensor wiring of the driver high is shorted to battery wiring.
* The side impact sensor wiring of the driver low is shorted to battery wiring.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.
