Wiring Harness Connectors
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Swift + and 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical connector is not attached properly, a built in shorting bar will connect the wire from air bag warning lamp with the SDM ground wire. This turns on the air bag indicator. To prevent deployment during servicing, additional shorting bars are located in following locations :
- The clock spring electrical connector at the lower steering column
- The passenger air bag module
- The driver air bag module
- The seat belt pretensioners
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always disable the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) before beginning any service procedure.
