- The SDM module
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, remove the Air Bag fuse from the right rear fuse center. Ignition ON, engine OFF test the voltage from the supply voltage side of the AIR BAG ignition 1 fuse to a ground with a DMM. The voltage should read 9-16 volts.
- If the voltage is less than 9-16 volts refer to Charging System Test .
- Remove the SDM connector, refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement for connector location.
- With the Air Bag fuse remove test the ignition 1 voltage circuit between the rear 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 circuit 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.
