Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) utilizes a unidirectional 2-wire circuit. The SIS modulates current on the interface to send ID, state of health (SOH), and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the SIS. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the SIS responds by performing internal diagnostics and sending an ID to the SDM. The SDM considers the ID to be valid if the response time is less than 5 seconds. The SIS continually communicates status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the SIS circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM resets the SIS twice by removing and reapplying power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
All of the following conditions exist for 2.5 seconds:
B0077 for SIS - Left Front or B0078 for SIS - Right Front
* A valid ID message is not received within 5 seconds of the SIS being powered up.
* The SDM has not received a message from the SIS for more than 375 milliseconds.
* The SDM has reset the SIS twice without detecting a valid ID message.
B0079 for SIS - Left Front or B0081 for SIS - Right Front
* The SDM has received an ID message from the SIS which does not match the ID stored in the SDM memory.
* The SDM has reset the SIS twice without detecting a correct ID message.
B0080 for SIS - Left Front or B0082 for SIS - Right Front
The SDM has received a NOK message from the SIS.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via serial data communications.
* The SIR system is disabled and no deployments are allowed.
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-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
Important: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
* The SIS
* The SDM module
* The SIS wiring harness connector
* The SDM wiring harness connector
1. Verify DTC B0079, B0080, B0081, or B0082 is not set.
• If DTC is set , replace the applicable impact sensor.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the applicable impact sensor and the SDM.
3. Test for infinite resistance between the applicable impact sensor signal circuit terminal A and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, test the circuit for a short to ground.
4. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the applicable impact sensor signal circuit terminal A and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the applicable impact sensor voltage circuit terminal B and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
6. Test for less then 1 ohm between the applicable impact sensor and SDM signal circuit terminal.
• If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
7. Test for less then 1 ohm between the applicable impact sensor and SDM voltage circuit terminal.
• If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
8. If the circuits test normal, replace the applicable impact sensor.
9. Reconnect all SIR components
10. Verify DTC B0077 or B0078 is not set.
• If DTC is set, replace the SDM.
