CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The LF/driver inflatable restraint side impact inflator module deployment 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. Then the SDM performs the following continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops:
^ Deployment loop voltage out of range test
^ Deployment loop resistance measurement test

If the voltage out of range test detects a short to voltage condition, the resistance measurement test for that deployment loop will not be performed.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Deployment loop voltage out of range test-Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

Deployment loop resistance measurement test:
^ Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
^ LF side deployment loop is not shorted to voltage.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ Deployment loop voltage out of range test - LF side high terminal is greater than 6 volts for 500 milliseconds.
^ Deployment loop resistance measurement test - LF side high terminal is less than 2.4 volts and LF side deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.

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
^ LF side high terminal is less than or equal to 6 volts for 500 milliseconds.
^ LF side high terminal is greater than or equal to 2.4 volts and LF side deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
^ You can issue a CLEAR CODES command
^ A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
The following can cause an intermittent condition:
^ A short to ground or to voltage on either of the two sides of the deployment loop circuit can cause a intermittent condition.
^ Inspect the LF side high and LF side low circuits carefully for cutting or chafing or any type of wire damage.
^ Wiring damage requires replacement of the inflatable restraint side impact inflator module harness.
^ Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections in Diagrams.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This step checks the LF/driver side air bag in-line connector.
5. This step checks to see if there is a malfunctioning LF side air bag (inflatable restraint side impact inflator module).
7. This step checks to see if there is a short to ground in the LF side high deployment circuit.
9. This step checks to see if there is a short to ground in the LF side low deployment circuit.
11. This step checks to see if there is a short to voltage in the LF side high deployment circuit.
13. This step determines if there is a short to voltage in the LF side low deployment circuit or if there is a malfunctioning SDM.
16. This step clears all SIR DTCs.
