DTC Descriptors
DTC 1071
- Passenger Presence System 1 Calibration Not Learned
DTC 1072
- Passenger Presence System 1 Plausibility Failure
Circuit/System Description
The passenger presence system (PPS) is used to monitor the pressure profile of any occupant that is sitting in the front outboard passenger seat and communicates the profile classification to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM will either enable or suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module based on the profile classification of the occupant. If the PPS has been replaced a rezeroing procedure must be run on the serviced seat before that vehicle is released back to the customer. When a new PPS is installed a DTC will set indicating that rezeroing needs to be preformed. If the PPS detects any rezero DTC, the PPS will communicate to the SDM through a dedicated serial data circuit that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will set DTC B0081 indicating a problem within the PPS, suppress deployment of the I/P module, and illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PPS will set this DTC when replaced.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The PPS will set a DTC and then communicate with the SDM.
* The SDM will set DTC B0081.
* The SDM disables the I/P module deployment loop.
* The PPS will illuminate the passenger air bag status OFF indicator.
* The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
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.
