SIR Diagnostic System Check

Wiring Diagram:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The ignition switch supplies IGNITION 1 voltage to the inflatable restraint Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM) at terminal 10 using the AIR BAGS fuse. When the ignition switch is first turned to the RUN position, the SDM responds by flashing the AIR BAG warning lamp seven times, then turning it OFF, while performing tests on the SIR system.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

DTC B1071 indicates a fault within the inflatable restraint Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM) Replace the SDM if DTC B1071 sets, current or history. Diagnosing diagnostic trouble codes in the correct order is very important. Failure to diagnose the DTCs in the order specified may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect parts replacement.
