Circuit Description
The inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) is a calibrated unit. Any time the passenger seat bottom cushion or trim attachments have been removed/serviced or the PPS has been replaced, the PPS system must learn the empty seat value by rezeroing. If there is an error during the rezeroing process, the PPS will set DTC 032. DTC 056 will also set indicating a system fault until a successful rezero has been completed. When the PPS detects this DTC within the PPS it will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by turning on the OFF indicator on the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators, then the PPS will communicate to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) through a non class 2 communications circuit that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will then turn the AIR BAG indicator ON, and set DTC B0092 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module.
