Test Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. 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:
- 2:
Tests the communication status of the SIS.
- 6:
Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the SIS signal circuit.
- 7:
Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the SIS voltage circuit.
- 8:
Tests for a short to voltage in the SIS signal and voltage circuits.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - SIR? |
Go to Step 2 |
Go to Diagnostic System Check - SIR |
| 2 |
- Install a scan tool.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- With a scan tool, request the SIR DTC display.
Does the scan tool indicate that either DTC B0079, B0080, B0081, or B0082 is current? |
Go to Step 12 |
Go to Step 3 |
