DTC 1051
PPS Initialization/Preload Fault

DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Testing and Inspection

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 has been replaced the new PPS must run a preload test on the completed serviced seat before that vehicle is released back to the customer. This test assures that completed serviced seat does not add any pressure to the seat surface that could influence the pressure profile of any occupant that is sitting in the seat. This test must be performed on an empty seat. When a new PPS is installed a DTC will set indicating that a preload test needs to be preformed. If the PPS detects any preload DTC within the PPS, then the PPS will communicate to the SDM through a non GMLAN communications circuit that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will then set DTC B0081 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the 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 will set this DTC when replaced.

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.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
When a new PPS and seat bottom foam has been installed, a DTC 1051 will be set indicating that the preload test procedure must be run.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
1. Ignition ON, use the scan tool. Go to the PPS menu, then retrieve the DTCs. Refer to Passenger Presence System Displaying Code Procedure. Verify DTC 1051 does not set. Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
- If DTC 1051 is set as current, refer to Passenger Presence System Preload Test Procedure. Programming and Relearning
2. Verify DTC 1052, 1053, 1054, or 1055 is set as current.
- If DTC 1052, 1053, 1054, or 1055 is set refer to DTC 1052, 1053, 1054, or 1055. DTC 1052 DTC 1053 DTC 1054 DTC 1055
3. Use the scan tool and perform Passenger Presence System Preload Test Procedure, and then request codes. Verify that there is no preload DTC exist. Programming and Relearning
