Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the passenger presence system (PPS) and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs
tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. When the SDM has completed the power-up mode, the SDM will establish communication with
the PPS. The SDM will also request the instrument panel cluster to illuminate both of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators for 5
seconds. If the SDM detects that the PPS has set a current DTC, the SDM will then disable the instrument panel (I/P) module deployment loop, set
DTC B0081, and illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Any of the following conditions must exist for 5 seconds:
B0081 0F
* The SDM has received a fault present message from the PPS.
* The PPS is in assembly plant mode and the SDM is in production mode.
B0081 11
The PPS is above maximum threshold. The PPS module failed the preload/build check.
B0081 3A
The SDM has received a mismatch message indicating the wrong PPS is installed on the vehicle.
B0081 4B
The PPS is not calibrated. Preload/build check test not run.
