Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Chevrolet Venture. 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 into an electrical signal. 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 causes current to flow through air bag modules, deploying air bags and causing DTC B0051 to set.
