Circuit/System Description

The passenger presence system (PPS) is used to monitor the pressure profile of any occupant that is sitting in the front outboard passenger seat and communicates the profile classification to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM will either enable or suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module based on the profile classification of the occupant. If the PPS detects that a malfunction with the communication circuit then the PPS will then set a DTC within the PPS. The SDM will then set DTC B0081 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module and then turn the AIR BAG indicator ON.


Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PPS has never established or lost communications with the SDM.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The PPS will set a DTC, and then communicate with the SDM via non GMLAN circuit.
* The SDM will set DTC B0081.
* The SDM disables the I/P module deployment loop.
* The PPS will turn ON the passenger air bag status OFF indicator.
* The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via serial data communications.



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 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.


* The PPS module

* The SDM module

* The PPS wiring harness connector

* The SDM wiring harness connector




1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the PPS harness connector.
2. Disconnect the SDM harness connector.
3. Test for less than 1 volt between the SDM serial data circuits and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.

4. Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit of the DLC and groundd.

If less than infinite resistance, test the circuit for a short to ground.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM
6. Verify DTC 1058-1062 is not set.

If DTC is set, replace the PPS module.




Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
