SDM
DTC B1001 (SDM)
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
DTC Descriptor
DTC B1001 00
- SDM Option Configuration Error
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) stores the vehicles restraint ID from the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the last 4 digits of the SDM part number. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM compares this information to the information stored in the body control module (BCM) over the serial data communication circuit. If there is a mismatch between the information stored in the SDM and BCM, DTC B1001 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The last 4 digits of the SDM part number does not match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.
* The VIN stored in the BCM does not match that of the vehicle.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.
* The SDM disables all deployments.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The last 4 digits of the SDM part number match the last 4 digits stored in the BCM.
* The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM matches the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM.
Diagnostic Aids
This DTC is an indication that an incorrect SDM is installed in the vehicle, or that the SDM and/or the BCM was replaced without reprogramming the BCM with the new information.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC B1001 is set as current.
• If DTC B1001 is history, clear DTCs and recheck.
2. Using the scan tool check the BCM that is programmed with the VIN. Verify that the BCM is programmed with the correct VIN number with the vehicle VIN plate.
• If the BCM has the wrong VIN number refer to Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for programming and setup.
3. Using the scan tool perform the Setup SDM Part Number into BCM procedure.
4. Ignition ON, verify that DTC B1001 is not set.
• If DTC B1001 is reset, replace the SDM.
Repair Instructions
