Restraint System Diagnosis

DTC B1001

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

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

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM does not match the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM or the VIN information that is stored in the SDM does not match the VIN information that is stored in the BCM.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data.
- The SDM disables all deployment loops.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM matches the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM and the VIN information that is stored in the SDM matches the VIN information that is stored in the BCM.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraints IDs stored in both the BCM and SDM do not match or that the VINs stored in both the BCM and SDM do not match. If either the BCM and/or engine control module (ECM) were replaced, the replacement modules need to be reprogrammed for proper operation.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-8:




The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Tests to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the ECM.
4. Tests to see if the BCM has been replaced.
5. Tests to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the BCM.
