Circuit/System Verification

NOTE:

Refer to SIR Service Precautions .

Inspect all terminals for damage or corrosion when disconnecting connectors. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

  • Side Impact Sensor
  • Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module
  • Front impact sensor wiring harness connector
  • Side Impact Sensor wiring harness connector
  • Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module wiring harness connector
NOTE:

The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other. Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly. Replace any CPA that is damaged or missing.

If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated, disconnect the connectors and add dielectric grease/lubricant (Nyogel 760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087). This procedure will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.

  1. Verify that DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 39 is not set as current.
    • If DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 39 is set as current 

      Replace the sensor listed below:

    • B0086 - B63LF Side Impact Sensor-Right Front
    • B0087 - B63RR Side Impact Sensor-Left Rear
    • If DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 39 is not set as current 
  2. Verify that DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 3A is not set as current.
    • If DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 3A is set as current 

      Replace the incorrect B63 Side Impact Sensor

    • If DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 3A is not set as current 
  3. Verify that DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 02 or 05 is set as current.
    • If only DTC B0086 symptom byte 01, 02 or 04 is set as current 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Only DTC B0086 or B0087 is set.

    • If only DTC B0087 symptom byte 01, 02 or 04 is set as current 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Only DTC B0086 or B0087 is set.

    • If both DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 01, 02 or 04 is set as current 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Both DTC B0086 and B0087 are set.

    • If DTC B0086 or B0087 symptom byte 01, 02 or 04 is not set as current 
  4. All OK.
