Diagnostic Procedure
- If SIR Diagnostic System Check has been performed, go to next step. If SIR Diagnostic System Check has not been performed, go to SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
- Using scan tool, request SIR DTC display. If DTC B0079, B0080, B0081 or B0082 is retrieved as a current DTC, go to step 12. If DTC B0079, B0080, B0081 or B0082 is not retrieved as a current DTC, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. If DTC B0077 is current, disconnect driver-side SIS connector. See SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If DTC B0078 is current, disconnect passenger-side SIS connector. If connector is damaged or corroded, go to next step. If connector is okay, go to step 5.
- If SIS side of connector is damaged, replace SIS. Go to step 13. If harness side of connector is damaged, replace connector. See WIRE REPAIR . Go to step 13.
- Disconnect SDM connector. See Figure. If SDM connector is damaged, replace connector. See WIRE REPAIR . Go to step 13. If SDM terminals are damaged, go to step 11. If SDM connector and terminals are okay, go to next step.NOTE: Use Digital Multimeter (J-39200) and Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A) or Flat WIre Probe Adapter Kit (J-42675) when performing electrical tests.
- If DTC B0077 is current, disconnect driver-side SIS connector. If DTC B0078 is current, disconnect passenger-side SIS connector. Test signal circuit of applicable SIS circuit for a short to ground, an open or high resistance. If a short to ground, an open or high resistance is found and corrected, go to step 13. If a shot to ground, an open or high resistance is not found, go to next step.
- Inspect applicable SIS voltage circuit for a short to ground, a high resistance or an open circuit. If a short to ground, a high resistance or an open circuit. is found and corrected, go to step 13. If short to voltage is not found, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Check applicable SIS signal and voltage circuits for a short to voltage. If short to voltage is found and corrected, go to step 13. If short to voltage is not found, go to next step.
- If DTC B0077 was retrieved by scan tool, replace driver-side SIS. Go to next step. If DTC B0078 was retrieved by scan tool, replace passenger-side SIS. Go to next step.
- Reconnect all SIR components. Using scan tool, clear all SIR DTC's. Road test vehicle, then check for DTC's. If DTC's are retrieved, go to next step. If DTC's are not retrieved, system is normal.
- Replace SDM. See SENSING & DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to next step.
- If DTC B0079 or B0080 is displayed by scan tool, replace driver-side SIS. Go to next step. If DTC B0081 or B0082 is displayed by scan tool, replace passenger-side SIS. Go to next step.
- Using scan tool, clear all SIR DTC's. Road test vehicle, then check for DTC's. If DTC is retrieved, go to step 2. If DTC is not retrieved, system is normal.
