Possible Causes
Passenger-side air bag low resistance could be caused by short in wiring harness or low resistance in air bag module.
- Check for hard or intermittent DTC
Ensure ignition is off. Connect scan tool to DLC. See USING SCAN TOOL under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Retrieve and record any continuous DTCs. See RETRIEVING FAULT CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B1935 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, fault is hard. Go to next step. If DTC B1935 was not retrieved, fault is intermittent. Go to step 4. - Check passenger-side air bag
Turn ignition off. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B1935 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC B1935 is not retrieved, replace passenger-side air bag module. See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 5.NOTE: By disconnecting air bag simulator, passenger-side air bag module circuit will be measured in series with high resistance dummy squib inside ECS module. - Check passenger-side air bag circuit
Turn ignition off. Zero ohmmeter. Disconnect passenger-side air bag simulator. Measure resistance between Light Blue/Orange and Pink/Black wires of passenger-side air bag module harness connector. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, repair low resistance in Light Blue/Orange and/or Pink/Black wires as necessary. Go to step 5. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, replace ECS module. Go to step 5. - Check for intermittent fault
Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step 1. If DTC retrieved in step 1 was an intermittent fault, check for cause of intermittent low resistance on Light Blue/Orange wire and Pink/Black wire. Attempt to recreate fault by driving vehicle, flexing wire harness and cycling ignition switch frequently. Repair any intermittent problems found. go to next step. If DTC retrieved in step 1 was not an intermittent fault, go to next step. - Check for additional DTCs
Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step 1. If any continuous DTCs were retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table for direction to appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION table. If no continuous DTCs were retrieved, reconnect air bag system. Activate air bag system. See ACTIVATING SYSTEM under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Prove out system. Clear all DTCs. See CLEARING FAULT CODES under DIAGNOSTICS.
