CAUTION:
When peñorming service on or near the
SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR
system must be disabled. Refer to SIR
Disabling and Enabling Zones. Failure to
observe the correct procedure could
cause deployment of the SIR components,
personal injury, or unnecessary SIR
system repairs.
IMPORTANT:
• In order to prevent accidental
deployment, the shorting bars close
in order to short the connectors
when the connectors are separated.
• Twisted-pair wires provide an
effective shield that helps protect
sensitive electronic components
from electrical inteñerence. lf the
wires were covered with shielding,
install new shielding.
In order to prevent electrical

inteñerence from degrading the
peñormance of the connected
components, you must maintain the
proper specification when making
any repairs to the twisted-pair wires
shown:
¡r
o The wires must be twisted a

minimum of 9 turns per 31 cm
(12 in) as measured anywhere
along the length of the wires
o The outside diameter of the
twisted wires must not exceed
6.0 mm (0.25 in)

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ANO PROCEDURES

DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT- SIR
Begin the system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - SIR. The Diagnostic
System Check will provide the following information:
• The identification ofthe control module(s) which command the system.

• The ability ofthe control module(s) to communicate through the serial data circuit.
• The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status.
The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing
the system and where the procedure is located.
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK- SIR
CAUTION: lf the vehicle interior is exposed to moisture and becomes

soaked up to the level of the sensing and diagnostic
module (SDM), the SDM and SDM harness connector must
be replaced. The SDM could be activated when powered,
which could cause airbag deployment and result in
personal injury.
The Diagnostic System Check - SIR must always be the starting point for any SIR diagnosis.
The Diagnostic System Check reveals DTCs through the use of the sean too l. The diagnostic
procedures used in this section are designed to find any repair SIR conditions. To get the
best results, it is important to use the diagnostic charts and follow the sequence listed below.
l. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - SIR, which reveals DTCs through the use of
sean tool. It also checks for proper air bag indicator operation.
2. Refer to the proper diagnostic chart as directed by the Diagnostic System Check- SIR.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis,
and incorrect parts replacement.
3. Repeat the Diagnostic System Check - SIR after any repair or diagnostic procedures
have been performed to ensure that the repair has been made correctly and that no other
malfunction exists.
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned to ON, ignition voltage is supplied from the air bag
fuse to find the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) at the input terminal Al. The SDM
responds by flashing the air bag indicator 7 times and then turning it OFF while the SDM
¡r
performs tests on the SIR.
Diagnostic Aids
The order in which DTCs are diagnosed is very important. Failure to diagnose the DTCs in
the order specified may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.

SCAN TOOL DATA LIST
The SIR Sean Tool Data List contains all the restraint system related parameters that are
available on the sean tool. The parameters in the list are arranged in alphabetical order. The
column, "Data List," in di cates the location of the parameter within the sean tool m enu
selections.
Use the SIR Sean Tool Data Listas directed by a diagnostic table or in order to supplement
the diagnostic procedures. Begin all of the diagnostic procedures with the Diagnostic System
Check- SIR. Use the SIR Sean Tool Data List after the following is determined:
• There is no published diagnostic trouble code (DTC) procedure nor published symptom
procedure for the customer concem.
• The DTC or symptom diagnostic procedure indicated by the diagnostic system check
does not resolve the customer concem.
The Typical Data Values are obtained from a properly operating vehicle under the conditions
specified in the first row of the Sean Tool Data List table. Comparison of the parameter
values from the suspect vehicle with the Typical Data Values may reveal the source of the
customer concern.

SDM INTEGRITY CHECK
The following diagnostic chart must be used when all circuitry outside the sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) has been found to operate properly, as indicated by following the
appropriate diagnostic trouble code (DTC) chart. The chart verifies the need for SDM
replacement.
Circuit Description
When the SDM recognizes ignition voltage greater than 9 volts at terminal Al of the SDM,
the air bag indicator flashes 7 times to verify operation. At this time the SDM performs tum-
on tests followed by resistance measurement tests and continuous monitoring tests.
When a malfunction is detected, the SDM sets a current DTC and illuminates the air bag
indicator.
When the malfunction is no longer detected and/or the ignition switch is cycled, the SDM
will clear current DTCs and move them toa history file, except for the DTC 051, 053, and
sometimes 071. DTC 051 and 053 will not be cleared by the sean tool because these codes
¡r
require replacement of the SDM. The SDM must be replaced only after the malfunction that
set the DTC has been repaired.

SYMPTOMS - SIR
IMPORTANT: The following steps must be completed before using the

symptom tables.
l. Perform the Dia2nostic System Check- SIR before using the Symptom Tables in
order to verify that all of the following are true:
• There are no DTCs set.
• The control module(s) can communicate via the serial data link.
2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourselfwith the system functions.
Refer to SIR System Description and Operation.
Visual/Physical Inspection
• Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the SIR System.
Refer to Checkin2 Aftermarket Accessories in Wiring Systems.
• Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or
conditions which could cause the symptom.
Intermittent
Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to
Testin2 for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
Symptom List
Refer toa symptom diagnostic procedure from the following list in order to diagnose the
symptom:
• Air Ba2 Indicator Always On

• Air Ba2 Indicator Does Not Come ON
¡r
AIR BAG INDICATOR ALW AYS ON
Circuit Description
The ignition switch supplies ignition 1 voltage to the inflatable restraint sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) using the F8 fuse. The ignition switch also supplies battery
voltage to the AIR BAG indicator using the F4 fuse. The AIR BAG indicator is connected to
the AIR BAG indicator output of the SDM. When the ignition switch is first turned to the
ON position, the SDM responds by flashing the AIR BAG indicator 7 times.
Diagnostic Aids
In order to disable the shorting bar between the air bag indicator control circuit and ground
inside the SDM wiring hamess connector, the following 2 conditions must be met:
• The SDM wiring harness connector must be properly connected to the SDM.
• The connector position assurance (CPA) must be properly installed in the SDM wiring
hamess connector.
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
2: This step determines if the malfunction is caused by a battery overcharge condition.

AIR BAG INDICATOR DOES NOT COME ON
Circuit Description
The ignition switch supplies ignition 1 voltage to the inflatable restraint sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) using the F8 fuse. The ignition switch also supplies battery
voltage to the AIR BAG indicator using the F4 fuse. The AIR BAG indicator is connected to
the AIR BAG indicator output of the SDM. When the ignition switch is first turned to the
ON position, the SDM responds by flashing the AIR BAG indicator seven times.
Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring
and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with a
reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for
Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

REP AIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER A COLLISION
CAUTION: Proper operation of the SIR sensing system requires

that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the
vehicle structure to the original production
configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle
structure could cause non-deployment in a collision or
deployment for conditions less severe than intended.
• If any SIR components are damaged, they must be replaced. If SIR components
mounting points are damaged, they must be repaired or replaced.
• Never use SIR parts from another vehicle. This does not include remanufactured parts
purchased from an authorized source.
• Do not attempt to service the SDM, the clock spring, or other air bag modules. These
items must be replaced if they are defective.
• Verify the part number of replaced air bag modules. Sorne inflator modules look
identical, but contain different internal components.
Accident With Deployment Components Replacements
All SIR components must be replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag deployment.
After deployment, a powdery residue may be on the surface of the air bag. The powder
consists primarily of cornstarch, used to lubricate the bagas it inflates, and by-products of
the chemical reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture
and is converted to sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda. Therefore, it is unlikely
that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment. Replace the following SIR
components:
CAUTION: Safety precautions must be followed when handling a

deployed inflator module (air bag). After deployment,
the inflator module (air bag) surface may contain a
small amount of sodium hydroxide, a by-product of the
deployment reaction, that is irritating to the skin and
eyes. Most of the powder on the inflator module (a ir
bag) is harmless. as a precaution, wear gloves and
safety glasses when handling a deployed inflator
¡r
module (air bag), and wash your hands with mild soap
and water afterwards.
• The SDM
• Air bag modules and pretensioners
• SIR wiring
• Clock spring
Accident Without Deployment Component Inspection
Certain inspects must be performed after any crash, whether the air bag has deployed or not.
• The steering column must be dimensionally inspected.

• Inspect the knee bolsters and mounting points for distortion, bending and cracking, or
other damages.
• Inspect the instrument panel (I/P) and steering column reinforcement plate for
distortion, bending and cracking, or other damage.
• Inspect the I/P braces for distortion, bending and cracking, or other damage.
• Inspect the seat belt and mounting points. Refer to Seat Belt Replacement- Front in
Seat Belts.
INFLATOR MODULE HANDLING AND SCRAPPING
CAUTION: Refer to SRS lnflator Module Handling and Storage

• Air bag modules should not be subjected to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
• An air bag and the SDM should not be used if it has been dropped from a height of 0.9
meters (3 feet) or greater.
• When an SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the SDM pointing
toward the front of the vehicle.
• It is very important for the SDM to be installed flat on the mounting surface, parallel to
the vehicle's longitudinal axis.
• To avoid setting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), do not apply power to the SIR unless
all components are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it.
• The Diagnostic System Check - SIR must be the starting point of any SIR diagnostics.
The Diagnostic System Check - SIR will verify proper air bag indicator operation and
willlead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SIR malfunctions. Passing these
procedures may result in extended diagnostic time incorrect parts replacement.

DESCRIPTION ANO OPERATION

SIR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERA TION
Fig. 51: View Of Deployed Air Bag

The supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) is a safety device used in conjunction with the
seat belt. The air bag do es not replace the function of the seat belt. The driver and the
passengers must always fasten their seat belts and adjust them for a proper fit.
The SIR is designed to protect the driver and the front seat passenger in the event of a
significant frontal impact to the vehicle. The air bags deploy if the force is applied from a
¡r
direction within 30 degrees of the vehicle's centerline.
The SIR system consists of a
• Driver air bag module

• Driver side air bag module (except North America models)
• Passenger air bag module
• Passenger side air bag module (except North America models)
• Driver's and front passenger's seat belt pretensioners (and load limiter for sorne model)
• Sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
• Clock spring
• Wire harness and connectors
• AIR BAG indicator on the instrument cluster
• Side air bag sensor (except North America models)

Front Seat Belt Pretensioners
CAUTION: When performing service on or near the SIR components or

the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones. Failure to observe the
correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system
repairs.
The seat belt pretensioners, with a load limiter for sorne vehicles, are assembled with each
front seat belt retractors to retract the seat belt webbin when accounted frontal collision.
¡r
The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The seat
belt pretensioner contains an igniter charge anda gas generator to pull the seat belt webbing.
The seat belt pretensioner must be replaced after an accident that causes its activation.
The seat belt pretensioner also contains a shorting bar to prevent current from travelling
through the seat belt pretensioner during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged when the
connector is connected.
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
Fig. 55: Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)

CAUTION: Refer to Sensing and Diagnostic Module Handling Caution

in Cautions and Notices.
The SDM is located on the floor beneath the floor console assembly. The SDM performs the
following functions :
• Monitors the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) electrical components and sets a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) when malfunction is detected.
• Records any faults that are discovered.
¡r
• Displays SIR diagnostic trouble codes and system status information when connected
to a sean tool.
• Illuminates the air bag indicator to alert the driver to any fault.
• Provides a reserve power source to deploy the air bags and pretensioners if an accident
has disabled the normal power source.
• Monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal impacts, which are severe enough to
warrant deployment.
• Causes current to flow through the air bag modules and pretensioner to cause
deployment if a frontal impact of sufficient force is detected.
The SDM contains no user-serviceable parts.

1 \
Fig. 57: Air Bag Warning Lamp

The instrument cluster contains an air bag warning indicator and sensing and diagnostic
module (SDM). The SDM performs a turn-on test when the ignition is turned ON.
The SDM flashes the air bag indicator seven times by supplying an intermittent ground to
the indicator lamp circuit. After flashing seven times, the air bag indicator will tum off if no
more malfunctions have been detected.
If the SDM has detected malfunctions in the internal and external circuits, which could
potentially affect the operation of the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR), the air bag
indicator stays on. Sorne malfunctions could result in non-deployment when necessary or
deployment under conditions which would not normally result in deployment.
When the SDM is not properly attached to its connector, the air bag circuit is shorted to
ground because there is a shorting bar in the SDM electrical connector. The shorting bar is
disengaged when proper connection is made, but if a poor connection exists the SDM
¡r
connector supplied a ground to the air bag indicator independently of the SDM, and the air
bag indicator turns on.
Clock Spring
CAUTION: When servicing the steering column, the Supplemental

lnflatable Restraint (SIR) System clock spring must be
centered for proper steering wheel operation. Failure to
properly center the SIR e loe k spring may result in reduced
turnability of the steering wheel causing the ve hiele to
improperly maneuver and may cause the SIR system to be
inoperative.
There is a coil assembly in the steering which is referred to as a clock spring because of its
internal resemblance to the type of spring used in a mechanical clock. The coil spring should
never be disassembled, and there is no timekeeping function. The clock spring contains two
or three current-carrying coils. One of the current-carrying coils maintains continuous
contact within the driver deployment loop while the steering wheel is rotated. The clock
spring also contains coils that maintain continuous contact for horn and remote audio control
switch circuit.
Tuming the steering wheel in one direction tightens the coil, and turning the steering wheel
in the opposite direction loosens the coil. Do not tum the clock spring when the steering
wheel is not attached. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil
Replacement for proper installation of the clock spring.
The clock spring also includes the wiring and the connectors for the hom circuit and the
driver air bag circuit. A yellow two-way connector on the lower steering column is attached
to the clock spring wiring. The yellow connector to the air bag contains a shorting bar which
connects the driver high circuit to driver low circuit when the connector is disconnected.
The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through the driver air bag module during
servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged when the clock spring connector is connected.
¡r
Fig. 58: Clock Spring

Wiring Harness Connectors
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical connector is not attached properly, a
built in shorting bar will connect the wire from air bag warning lamp with the SDM ground
wire. This tums on the air bag indicator. To prevent deployment during servicing, additional
shorting bars are located in following locations :
• The clock spring electrical connector at the lower steering column

• The passenger air bag module
• The driver air bag module
• The seat belt pretensioners
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always disable the supplemental inflatable
restraints (SIR) before beginning any service procedure.
