DTC Descriptors
DTC B1330
- Incorrect Electronic Left Front Impact Sensor Installed

Circuit/System Description

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.

Upon passing these tests, the ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that these voltages are within the normal ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low circuits to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deployment loops.

The SDM tests the wiring connection to extra devices, such as the side impact sensor, by letting an infinitesimal current flow through the internal circuit to verify the resistance. If the voltage is out of range, the SDM is unable to test the air bag system properly.

In the case of DTC B1103, test the battery and if necessary replace the battery with a new one. Erase the DTC using the scan tool.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The incorrect part number of the left front impact sensor is applied to the vehicle.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.

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 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
