Circuit/System Description
During a frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the
deployment loop in order to deploy the steering wheel module. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check
for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage.
There are 2 shorting bars used within the steering wheel module coil connector which will short together both steering wheel module stage 1 high
circuit and steering wheel module stage 1 low circuit and both steering wheel module stage 2 high circuit and steering wheel module stage 2 low
circuit when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0012 01 Stage 1 or B0013 01 Stage 2
The steering wheel module high and/or low circuit is shorted to voltage for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 02 Stage 1 or B0013 02 Stage 2
The steering wheel module high and/or low circuit is shorted to ground for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 04 Stage 1 or B0013 04 Stage 2
The steering wheel module high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 0D Stage 1 or B0013 0D Stage 2
The steering wheel module deployment loop resistance is greater than 5.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 0E Stage 1 or B0013 0E Stage 2
The steering wheel module deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The SDM request the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator ON.
* The SIR system is disabled and no deployments are allowed.
* The SDM 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.
