DTC 16

CAUTION:
- When measurements are requested in this chart use specified digital multimeter with correct terminal adapter from special tool (Connector test adapter kit).
- When a check for proper connection is requested refer to "INTERMITTENTS AND POOR CONNECTIONS".
Intermittents and Poor Connections

- When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.

DTC WILL SET WHEN:
- The combined resistance of the passenger air bag (inflator) module, harness wiring and connector terminal contact is below a specified value for specified time.

Diagnostic Chart:

DTC CHART TEST DESCRIPTION: Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart.
1. DTC 16 and 22 will set simultaneously when the "Driver Side High" circuit is shorted to the "Passenger Side High" circuit due to parallel current paths.
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in the passenger air bag (inflator) module circuitry or in the SDM wiring harness circuitry.
3. This test checks for a short from the "Passenger Side High" circuit to the "Passenger Side Low" circuit.
4. This test checks for a short from the "Passenger Side High" circuit to the "Driver Side Low" circuit.
