Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity changes to an electrical signal. Electrical signal is processed by SDM and compared to a value stored in memory. When signal exceeds stored value, additional signal processing is performed and signals are compared to values stored in memory. When 2 signals exceed stored values, SDM will cause current to flow through air bag modules, deploying air bags. DTC B0053 will set along with DTC B0051 when a deployment occurs while an inflator circuit fault exists that could result in a non-deployment situation in one or both air bag modules.
