DTC 19- PASSENGER INITIATOR CIRCUIT SHORT TO IGNITION

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" in this section.
- 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 voltage measured at "Passenger Side Low" is above a specified value for specified time.





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

1) This test determines whether the malfunction is occurring in the passenger air bag (inflator) module circuitry.
2) This test checks for a short from "Passenger Side High" to B+.
3) This test checks for a short from "Passenger Side Low" to B+.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short to B+ in the passenger air bag (inflator) module circuits. A DTC 19 history would be accompanied by DTC 71 current. A careful inspection of the circuits and components indicated on DTC 19 charts is essential to ensure that the replacement SDM will not be damaged.
