Circuit/System Description

During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy an air bag or pretensioner. There are 2 shorting bars used within the air bag connector 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

B0014 01, B0015 01, B0016 01, B0019 01, B0020 01, B0021 01, B0022 01, B0023 01

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

B0014 02, B0015 02, B0016 02, B0019 02, B0020 02, B0021 02, B0022 02, B0023 02

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

B0014 04, B0015 04, B0016 04, B0019 04, B0020 04, B0021 04, B0022 04, B0023 04

The air bag or pretensioner control circuit is open for 2 seconds.

B0014 0D, B0015 0D, B0016 0D, B0019 0D, B0020 0D, B0021 0D, B0022 0D, B0023 0D

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

B0014 0E, B0015 0E, B0016 0E, B0019 0E, B0020 0E, B0021 0E, B0022 0E, B0023 0E

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

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the SIR system AIR BAG indicator.
•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module 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.

An incorrectly installed 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:

•  Passenger instrument panel air bag
•  Driver and passenger seat side air bags
•  Left and right roof rail air bags
•  Driver and passenger pretensioners
•  Inline connectors – on the side of the harness connector
•  Harness side of the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module connector

Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connector 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. If DTCs of deployment loops which are in the seat DTC B0014 and B0021, can occur because of stress or damage to the harness due to seat movement. Move the seat to the full extend of travel while using the scan tool to observe deployment type loop parameters.

Circuit/System Verification


Note: 
•  Refer to SIR Service Precautions .
•  Inspect all terminals for damage or corrosion when disconnecting connectors. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
  -  Seat belt pretensioner
  -  Passenger instrument panel air bag
  -  Side air bag
  -  Roof rail air bag
  -  Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
  -  Seat belt pretensioner wiring harness connector
  -  Passenger instrument panel air bag wiring harness connector
  -  Seat side air bag wiring harness connector
  -  Roof rail air bag wiring harness connector
  -  Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module wiring harness connector
•  The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other. Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
•  If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated, disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.

1. Verify the scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance 1 and 2 parameters stay consistently between 2.1 and 4.0 Ω without any spikes or dropouts while moving the harness near each connector listed below:
  •  F105 Passenger instrument panel air bag
  •  F105L Roof rail air bag – left
  •  F105R Roof rail air bag – right
  •  F106 Side air bag
  •  F112 Seat belt retractor pretensioner
  •  Any inline harness
  •  K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
    ⇒  If less than 2.1 or greater than 4.0 Ω

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.     ⇒  If there are spikes or dropouts, perform the following

  •  Inspect each connector terminal and harness for damage or corrosion and repair as necessary
  •  Apply Nyogel lubricant 760G to each connector terminal
  •  Insure each connector and CPA is correctly seated.
    ⇓  If within 2.1 and 4.0 Ω without any spikes or dropouts

2. All OK
