- Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the J 38715-A . See Special Tools .
- Disconnect the SDM harness connector.
- Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and seat belt pretensioner - RF for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance does not exist.
- If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.
- If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
