Circuit/System Description

The impact sensors are equipped on vehicles to supplement the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System performance. The impact sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide inputs to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module. The impact sensors can assist in determining the severity of some frontal and side collisions. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module uses the input from the impact sensors to assist in determining the severity of a collision further supporting air bag deployment. If the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module determines a deployment is warranted, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the air bags.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9–16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Any of the following conditions exist for 10 seconds:

B0083 01, B0084 01, B0085 01, B0086 01

The impact sensor has been shorted to voltage.

B0083 02, B0084 02, B0085 02, B0086 02

•  The impact sensor has been shorted to ground.
•  The impact sensor current is greater than 23 mA for greater than 5 milliseconds.

B0083 04, B0083 05, B0084 04, B0084 05, B0085 04, B0085 05, B0086 04, B0086 05, B0087 04, B0087 05, B0088 04, B0088 05

•  The sensor circuit is open.
•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has not received a message from the sensor for greater than 375 milliseconds.

B0083 39, B0084 39, B0085 39, B0086 39

•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has received a Not OK message from the impact sensor.
•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has not received a message.

B0083 3A, B0084 3A, B0085 3A, B0086 3A

•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has received identification message from the impact sensor, which does not match the identification stored in the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module memory.
•  The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has reset the impact sensor twice without detecting the correct identification message.

B0083 71, B0084 71, B0085 71, B0086 71

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module has received invalid serial data from the impact sensor.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

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

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.
•  An ignition cycle is required for the DTC to go from current to history.

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.
  •  Impact sensor
  •  Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
  •  Impact sensor 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. Replace any CPA that is damaged or missing.
•  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 that DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 3A, 39, or 71 is not set as current.
    ⇒  If DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 3A, 39 or 71 is set as current

Replace the appropriate B59 or B63 impact sensor.     ⇓  If DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 3A, 39 or 71 is not set as current

2. Verify that DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 01, 02, 04, or 05 is not set as current.
    ⇒  If DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 01, 02, 04, or 05 is set as current

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.     ⇓  If DTC B0083–B0088 symptom byte 01, 02, 04, 05 is not set as current

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B59 or B63 impact sensor, wait 120 seconds.
2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    ⇒  If 10 Ω or greater

  2.1 Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
  2.2 Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
⇒  If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
⇒  If less than 2 Ω, replace the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
    ⇓  If less than 10 Ω

3. Test for greater than 50k Ω between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    ⇒  If 50k Ω or less

  3.1 Disconnect the harness connector at the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
  3.2 Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
⇒  If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
⇒  If infinite resistance, replace the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
    ⇓  If greater than 50k Ω

4. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    ⇒  If greater than 1 volt

  4.1 Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
  4.2 Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit and ground.
⇒  If greater than 1 volt, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
⇒  If less than 1 volt, replace the K36 inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
    ⇓  If less than 1 volt

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.
6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the signal circuit end to end from the impact sensor terminal 1 and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module terminal listed below:
  •  Left front side impact sensor terminal 19 X2
  •  Left front impact sensor terminal 23 X2
  •  Right front side impact sensor terminal 22 X2
  •  Right front impact sensor terminal 26 X2
    ⇒  If 2 Ω or greater

Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.     ⇓  If less than 2 Ω

7. Ignition OFF, reconnect all harness connectors, press in the CPA (if equipped) until an audible and/or tactile click is heard.
8. Ignition ON, clear DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
9. Verify the DTC does not set.
    ⇒  If the DTC sets

Replace the B59 or B63 impact sensor.     ⇓  If the DTC does not set

10. All OK.
