WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within the passenger presence system (PPS). When the SDM has completed the power-up mode, the SDM will establish communication with the PPS. The SDM will increase a fault counter with each ignition cycle that a fault exists with the PPS. The SDM will lock out the PPS after a predetermined ignition cycle count maximum has been reached.
