DTC 001



DTC 001

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 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 deployment loops.

DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 001 Driver Air Bag Deployment Loop Resistance Too High

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

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The resistance of driver air bag deployment loop is higher than 4.7 ohms.
