DTC Descriptors
DTC B0052 00
- Deployment Commanded
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) contains a device that converts vehicle velocity changes into an electrical signal. The
SDM compares this electrical signal to a value stored in memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM performs additional
signal processing and compares the generated signals to values stored in memory. When 2 of the generated signals exceed the stored values, the
SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment loops, deploying the air bags and/or pretensioners causing DTC B0052 to set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0052
* The SDM detects a frontal impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of the frontal modules.
* The SDM detects a side impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of a side impact module and/or roof rail module.
* The SDM has deployed the seat belt pretensioner for 3 separate deployments.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the Service Air Bag indicator.
* The SDM records crash data.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
After an air bag deployment or 3 separate pretensioner deployments the DTC becomes latched and cannot be cleared.

Circuit/System Verification
Important: The seat belt pretensioners may deploy for impacts that are not severe enough to warrant frontal or side air bag deployment.
The SDM is capable of sustaining 3 pretensioner deployment events, or one frontal or side deployment event. After the maximum number
of deployments has occurred, DTC B0052 sets and becomes a latched code, which cannot be cleared.
1. Ignition OFF, verify no signs of inflator module or pretensioner deployment exist.
锟斤拷 If any signs of deployment exist, refer to Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision (See: Body and Frame/Repairs and
Inspections Required After a Collision/Service and Repair/Supplemental Inflatable Restraints).
