The inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) - Right loop is a 2 wire circuit. When you first turn ON the ignition, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM provides input power to the SIS. When input power is first detected, the SIS responds by performing internal diagnostics. Next the SIS sends an ID message to the SDM. The SDM will consider this to be a valid ID if the response time is less than 5 seconds after the SIS is powered up. The SIS will continually communicate a status message to the SDM. The SDM can reset the SIS by removing and applying power to it.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The SDM monitors the Right SIS loop with power on.
^ Right SIS will send an ID message to the SDM.
^ Right SIS will continuously send OK or NOK message to SDM.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ Ignition 1 Voltage is within normal operating voltage range
^ The SDM has received an ID message from the Right SIS which does not match the ID stored in the SDM memory.
^ When 2 Right SIS resets attempted without the correct identification detected.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp via Class 2 serial data.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
^ A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction tree ignition cycles have occurred.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check to ensure that the proper Right SIS is installed into vehicle.
