Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  Tests the front end discriminating sensor for the proper resistance value.
  2. 5:  Tests for an open, short to ground, or short to voltage in the front end discriminating sensor - left circuits.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the front end discriminating sensor - left connector.
  3. Inspect both the component and harness sides of the connector for the following conditions:
    • Corrosion
    • Damaged terminals
    • Poor contact/terminal tension
Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 8  Go to Step 3 
Measure the resistance between the front end discriminating sensor - left terminals. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Does the resistance measure as specified?
Approximately 820 Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6

    • Poor contact/terminal tension
Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 8  Go to Step 5 
Test the front end discriminating sensor - left - signal and the front end discriminating sensor - left - reference circuits for the following conditions:
  • An open or high resistance
  • A short to ground
  • A short to voltage

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
6 Replace the Inflatable Restraint Front End Discriminating Sensor - Left. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Front End Discriminating Sensor Replacement - Left .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 8  -
7 Replace the SDM. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 8  -

  1. Reconnect all SIR components.
  2. Verify that all components, connectors and CPAs are properly mounted.
  3. Use the scan tool in order to Clear the DTCs.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?
- Go to Step 2  System OK
