Diagnostic Fault Information

Supplemental Inflatable Restraints

Circuit/System Description

During a frontal crash of sufficient force the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the driver steering wheel air bag. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. There is a shorting bar used within the driver steering wheel air bag coil connector which will short together the driver steering wheel air bag stage high circuit and driver steering wheel air bag stage low circuit when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the steering wheel air bag during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0012 01 stage 1

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.

B0012 02 stage 1

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.

B0012 04 stage 1

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop is open for 2 seconds.

B0012 0D stage 1

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.4 Ω for 2 seconds.

B0012 0E stage 1

The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.7 Ω for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployment.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer exists.
A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aid

NOTE: The following diagnostic aids apply for both current and history DTCs.

A worn steering wheel air bag coil can cause a repeated history DTC to set. To verify this condition, turn the steering wheel 360 degrees in one direction then back 360 degrees in the other direction, multiple times, while viewing the scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance 1 and 2 parameters.

An incorrectly installed connector position assurance (CPA) or incorrectly seated connector can cause a shorting bar to short both control circuits together. Check the connectors and CPAs if a DTC with symptom byte 02 or 0E is set, to ensure the shorting bars are not causing the circuits to be shorted together. Shorting bars are used in the locations listed below:

Steering wheel air bag assembly
Steering wheel air bag coil assembly
Inline harness connectors
Harness side of the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module connector

Diagnostic Fault Information

Supplemental Inflatable Restraints

Circuit/System Description

During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy an air bag or pretensioner. There are 2 shorting bars which will short together control circuits, when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag or pretensioner during servicing.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B0016 01, B0023 01

The air bag control circuit is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.

B0016 02, B0023 02

The air bag control circuit is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.

B0016 04, B0023 04

The air bag control circuit is open for 2 seconds.

B0016 0D, B0023 0D

The air bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.2 Ω for 2 seconds.

B0016 0E, B0023 0E

The air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.4 Ω for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
The SDM will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aid

NOTE: The following diagnostic aids apply for both current and history DTCs.

Passenger instrument panel air bag
Driver and passenger seat side air bags
Left and right roof rail air bags
Driver and passenger retractor pretensioners
Inline harness connectors
Harness side of the SDM connector

Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause an open/high resistance condition. Check the circuit terminals for fretting or incorrectly seated connector if a DTC with symptom byte 04 or 0D is set. DTCs of deployment loops which are in the seat DTC can occur because of stress or damage to the harness due to seat movement. Move the seat to the full extent of travel while using the scan tool to observe deployment type loop parameters.

Passenger Seat Belt Tension Sensor Circuit Voltage Performance - Signal Invalid

Diagnostic Fault Information

Supplemental Inflatable Restraints

Circuit/System Description

The seat belt tension sensor is a 2-wire sensor mounted on the passenger seat belt retractor and provides an input to the passenger presence module. When an infant car seat is properly restrained on the front passenger seat, the seat belt is tightly secured through the car seat. The seat belt pulls on the tension sensor and changes the voltage signal to the passenger presence module. The passenger presence module monitors the belt tension sensor signal circuit and if a fault is detected, DTC will be set. When the passenger presence module detects this DTC it will send out a serial data message and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating the OFF indicator on the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will then suppress the deployment of the passenger instrument panel air bag and illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9 - 16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The passenger presence module detects the voltage at the passenger seat belt tension sensor signal circuit is less than 0.5 V or greater than 4.5 V for 1 s.
The passenger presence module detects the voltage at the passenger seat belt tension sensor voltage reference circuit is less than 4.5 V or greater than 9.1 V for 1 s.
The passenger presence module detects the amperage at the passenger seat belt tension sensor low reference circuit is 25 mA or greater for 1 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The passenger presence module will set a DTC, and then communicate with the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will set DTC B0081
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module disables the passenger instrument panel air bag.
The passenger presence module will illuminate the passenger air bag status OFF indicator.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module requests the instrument panel to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1019 00

System Configuration Error

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module monitors the number of safety components installed on the vehicle. When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module evaluates the number of safety components installed and compares it to the number of components the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module expects to see on the vehicle with its current calibration. If there is a mismatch between detected components and the components programmed with the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module calibration, DTC B1019 will set. The components (if equipped) that the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will detect include inflatable restraint deployment loops, impact sensors, passenger presence system components, seat position sensors, disable switches, and seat belt switches.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The setup for the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has not been completed and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module does not detect the passenger presence system (if equipped), the correct number of sensors, or deployment loops, that is expected with this calibration.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG warning indicator.
The DTC must be cleared before running the setup inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
Air bag indicator will continue to flash until inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module setup procedure is complete.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module scan tool deployment loop, impact sensor, and passenger presence (if equipped) data will match what the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has been programmed to expect to see on the vehicle. B1019 DTC will set if a deployment loop or impact sensor is added or removed from the system, or if the passenger presence is not detected.

DTC B1019 will set when an open/high resistance DTC sets for a deployment loop or impact sensor. This causes mismatch between the learned and actual components connected to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.

DTC B1019 can set with no other DTCs if an unused deployment loop or impact sensor circuit is shorted to ground. This causes a mismatch between the learned and actual components connected to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.

Airbag Indicator Malfunction (Driver)

Diagnostic Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

When the ignition is turned ON, during the bulb check, the driver air bag indicator will flash, and then turn OFF after the bulb check. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs diagnostic tests on the SIR system during the bulb check. If any malfunction exists the SDM will request the instrument cluster to illuminate the air bag indicator steady, via serial data. If a preexisting malfunction exists, the air bag indicator will illuminate steady immediately after the ignition is turned ON. If the ignition 1 voltage is outside of the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 V, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will command the instrument cluster to illuminate the air bag indicator ON, even with no DTCs present, and then disable all deployment loops.

Diagnostic Aids

A DTC B1370 may set if the ignition 1 circuit is outside the 9 - 16 V range.
A flashing driver air bag indicator is displayed if the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module was programmed but did not fully complete the programming. For a flashing driver air bag indicator, refer to K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module: Programming and Setup.

SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING

SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Description and Operation.

There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.

Supplemental Inflatable Restraints

* DTC's may be lost when the negative battery cable is disconnected.

SIR Service Precautions

WARNING: When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in unnecessary SIR system repairs.

The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply. The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module loses battery power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 2 minutes after disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 2 minutes before working on the system after disabling the SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.

General Service Instructions

The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the vehicle and return it to its original integrity:

Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 85Ã‚ÂºC (185Ã‚ÂºF).
Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different vehicle.
Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.

Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 80 cm (31.5 Inches) or greater:

Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
Any air bag
Driver steering wheel air bag coil
Any impact sensor
Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
