Circuit Description
When the SDM recognizes ignition voltage greater than 9 volts at the SDM, the air bag indicator flashes 7 times to verify operation. At this time the SDM performs turn-on tests followed by resistance measurement tests and continuous monitoring tests.
When malfunction is detected, the SDM sets a current DTC and illuminates the air bag indicator.
When the malfunction is no longer detected and/or the ignition switch is cycled, the SDM will clear current DTCs and move them to a history file, except for the DTCs 032, 033, 034, 035, 038, B1620, B1650, B1670 and sometimes 071. DTCs 032, 033, 034, 035, 038, B1620, B1650, B1670 will not be cleared by a scan tool because these codes require replacement of the SDM. The SDM must be replaced only after the malfunction that set the DTC has been repaired.
