B1355

DTC B1355

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.

Upon passing these tests, ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that they are within their normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deploy loops.

The SDM inspects the wiring connection to the I/P module by letting the perpetual current flow through the internal circuit and verify the resistance.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1355 Passenger Frontal Deployment Loop Stage 1 Short to Battery

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The air bag wiring of the passenger high is shorted to battery wiring.
* The air bag wiring of the passenger low is shorted to battery wiring.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
