B1019

Circuit Description
When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests IGNITION 1, 23 VLR and the deployment loop voltages are measured to make sure they are within their respective normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at DRIVER SIDE LOW terminal 3 and PASSENGER SIDE LOW terminal 4 to detect a short to B+ in the inflator module circuits.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The voltage at DRIVER SIDE LOW terminal 3 is less than 4.8 volts.
^ The voltage at PASSENGER SIDE LOW terminal 4 is more than 4.8 volts for 500 milliseconds.

The CONTINUOUS MONITORING test checks for this DTC. This test occurs when IGNITION 1 is within the normal operating voltage range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The SDM sets a DTC B1019.
^ The SDM turns ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

^ Current DTC
The voltage at PASSENGER SIDE LOW terminal 4 is less than 4.8 volts for 500 milliseconds.

^ History DTC
- You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.
- Once 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids
A short to B+ in the Inflatable Restraint Instrument Panel (IP) module circuit can cause an intermittent condition. Inspect circuit 1403 and circuit 1404 carefully for cutting or chafing. Wiring pigtail damage requires replacement of the Inflatable Restraint IP module. The diagnostic table directs the technician to note the entry value of PASSENGER SENSELO. Comparing the value of PASSENGER SENSELO can be helpful in determining if an intermittent condition exists.

When measurements are requested in this table, use the J 39200 DMM with the correct terminal adapter from the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit. When an inspection for proper connection is requested, refer to Diagrams / Testing for Electrical Intermittents. When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use the J 38125-B Terminal Repair Kit.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
2. This step checks the passenger side low voltage that was measured by the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
3. This step isolates the malfunction to one side of the Inflatable Restraint IP module yellow 2-way wiring harness connector.
5. This step checks to see if there is a short to B+ in circuit 1403.
7. This step determines if there is a short to B+ in circuit 1404 or if there is a malfunctioning SDM.
