Chart B Flash Code Diagnosis

DESCRIPTION
When the Ignition Switch is first turned "ON" system voltage is applied through Fuse #6 to the "SIR Indicator High" input (B9) and the "INFLATABLE RESTRAINT" warning lamp which is connected to "SIR Indicator Low" input (A1). Fuse #7 also applies system voltage to the "IGNITION 1" inputs (A3 and B3). The DERM responds by blinking the "INFLATABLE RESTRAINT" warning lamp 7 to 9 times.

When the engine is being cranked system voltage is applied to the DERM at the "CRANK" input. The DERM grounds the warning lamp circuit until system voltage is removed from the "CRANK" input. This results in a steady "INFLATABLE RESTRAINT" warning lamp during cranking.

After cranking, the DERM again blinks the "INFLATABLE RESTRAINT" warning lamp 7 to 9 times.

NOTES ON FAULT TREE
1. If flash DTCs have been used to diagnose and repair a fault, the DTC(s) diagnosed and repaired will still appear as history DTCs only. The only way to clear history DTCs is with a scan tool.
2. Where diagnostic charts request the clearing of SIR DTCs, the step is to be skipped since DTCs cannot be cleared through flash DTC diagnostics.
