B1001

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) compares the restraints ID stored in the SDM to the restraints ID stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). The restraints ID being compared contains the last tour digits of the SDM part number. The SDM then compares the vehicle identification number (VIN) stored in the SDM to the VIN stored in the PCM. For more detailed information concerning the Class 2 data lines, refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation in Data Link Communications.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The SDM disables all AIR BAG deployments.

^ You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.
^ A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraint ID's stored in both the PCM and SDM do not match or that the VIN's stored in both the PCM and SDM do not match. If the PCM has been replaced, the replacement module needs to be reprogrammed for proper operation.
