Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When ignition switch is turned to ON position, SDM performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests, IGNITION 1 and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they are within normal voltage ranges. During CONTINUOUS MONITORING diagnostics, a fixed amount of current is flowing in deployment loop. This produces proportional voltage drops in loop. By monitoring voltage difference between DRIVER-SIDE HIGH and DRIVER-SIDE LOW, SDM calculates combined resistance of driver-side air bag, SRS coil, harness wiring circuits IB05 and IB06, and connector terminal contact.
