Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The passenger presence system (PPS) module has an ignition 1 voltage input. The PPS continually monitors itself for faults. If the voltage on this circuit falls below a certain threshold, the PPS will set DTC 024. When the PPS detects this DTC within the PPS it will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating the OFF indicator on the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. Then the PPS will communicate to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) through serial data communication circuit that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will then set DTC B0081 indicating a problem within the PPS and will suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module and then illuminate the AIR BAG warning indicator.
