DTC Descriptor

DTC 064
- Communication/ID Performance

Circuit/System Description

The passenger presence system (PPS) communicates over a non GMLAN communication circuit to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). When the ignition is turned ON, the PPS module will check to make sure the PPS verification ID matches that stored in the SDM. If the SDM cannot communicate with the PPS, the SDM will set a DTC and request the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. If the SDM can communicate to the PPS but the verification ID does not match, the PPS will set DTC 064 and notify the SDM that a fault has occurred. The SDM will then set DTC B0081 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module and then turn the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The PPS has lost communications with the SDM.
* The PPS verification ID does not match the ID that is stored in the SDM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The PPS will set a DTC, and then communicate with the SDM via non GMLAN circuit.
* The SDM will set DTC B0081.
* The SDM disables the I/P module deployment loop.
* The PPS will turn ON the passenger air bag status OFF indicator.
* The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The SDM has received an incorrect PPS verification ID. The SDM will continue to request the verification ID from the PPS for 5 seconds. If the SDM does not communicate or receive the correct verification ID from the PPS within 5 seconds, the SDM will set DTC B0081 as current.

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 PPS module

* The SDM module

* The PPS wiring harness connector

* The SDM wiring harness connector

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PPS module.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the SDM connector.
3. Test for less than 1.0 ohm along the occupant sensor serial data circuit terminal 18 to terminal 60.

• If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the PPS module.

Repair Instructions
