Deployment Loop Continuity Test

The inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) performs this test in order to inspect for voltage variations in the DRIVER SIDE HIGH/LOW and the PASSENGER SIDE HIGH/LOW circuitry. The module first measures the Ignition Positive Voltage and the 23 VLR in order to verify that the voltage is within specifications. The module then performs the deployment loop continuity test. Detection of a malfunction during these tests may prevent the resistance measurement test from occurring until the next ignition cycle. This test is part of the power-on tests and occurs before the continuous monitoring tests.
