CHART TEST DESCRIPTION: Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart.

1) An open "AIR BAG" fuse would cause the "AIR BAG" warning lamp to come "ON" steady.
2) A disconnected SDM harness connector will cause the warning lamp to come "ON" steady via the short bar from terminal "A7" to terminal "A6" (ground).
3) This test checks for an open in the "Ignition" circuit to the SDM.
4) This test checks for a short from the "AIR BAG" warning lamp circuit to ground.
5) This test checks whether a short to ground caused the "AIR BAG" fuse to open.
6) This test determines whether the short to ground is due to a short in the wiring.
