Circuit Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Yukon, 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Seat Position Switch (SPS) is used to determine driver or front passenger seat position. SPS interfaces with Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). State of SPS allows SDM to disable Stage 2 deployment of applicable air bag module. SPS is a Hall effect sensor mounted on seat tracks. Shunted state of SPS represents rearward seat position, while non-shunted state represents a forward seat position. SPS is secondary to passenger-side air bag module disable switch and Passenger Presence System (PPS). If either device is in disable mode, passenger-side air bag module will not deploy regardless of SPS status.
