WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The SDM module
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition ON, use the scan tool checks for DTCs. Verify that DTC P2535 in the BCM does not set.
- If DTC P2535 is current go to DTC P2535 .
- Ignition OFF, remove the Air Bag fuse from the BCM fuse center. Ignition ON, engine OFF test the voltage side of the Air Bag fuse with a DMM. Measure the voltage of the Air Bag fuse voltage side and ground. The voltage should read 9.0-16.0 volts.
- If the voltage is less than 9.0-16.0 volts refer to DTC B1370 .
- Remove the SDM connector. Refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.
- With the Air Bag fuse removed, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit between the BCM fuse center and the SDM for a short to voltage or an open. Verify that a short to voltage or an open does not exist.
- If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.
- If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
