WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Savana Special, 2003 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2003 GMC Savana, 2003 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2003 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If SIR Diagnostic System Check has been performed, go to next step. If SIR Diagnostic System Check has not been performed, go to SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module disable switch connector. See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE DISABLE SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If connector shows signs of corrosion or damage, repair condition. See WIRE REPAIR . Go to step 11. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Reconnect passenger-side air bag module disable switch connector. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under left side of instrument panel. Turn air bag disable switch off. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, request IP MODULE DISABLE (ACTIVE) SWITCH data parameter. If scan tool indicates that IP MODULE DISABLE (ACTIVE) switch is disabled, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate that IP MODULE DISABLE (ACTIVE) switch is disabled, go to step 5.
- Turn air bag disable switch on. Using scan tool, request IP MODULE DISABLE (ACTIVE) switch data parameter. If a change of state is observed on scan tool, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If a change of state is not observed, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module disable switch connector. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, request IP MODULE DISABLE (ACTIVE) switch data parameter. If scan tool indicates that switch is disabled, go to step 10. If scan tool does not indicate that switch is disabled, go to next step.NOTE: Use Digital Multimeter (J-39200) and Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A) or Flat WIre Probe Adapter Kit (J-42675) when performing electrical tests.
- Inspect passenger-side air bag module disable switch signal circuit (Tan/Black wire) for a short to ground or voltage. See WIRE REPAIR . If short to ground or voltage is found and corrected, go to step 11. If short to ground or voltage is not found, go to next step.
- Inspect passenger-side air bag module suppression indicator control signal circuit (Pink wire) for a short to ground or voltage. See WIRE REPAIR . If short to ground or voltage is found and corrected, go to step 11. If short to ground or voltage is not found and corrected, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect SDM connector. If SDM connector shows signs of corrosion or damage, replace SDM connector. See WIRE REPAIR . Go to step 11. If SDM connector is okay, go to next step.
- Replace SDM. See SENSING & DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 11.
- Replace passenger-side air bag module disable switch. See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE DISABLE SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to next step.
- Reconnect all SIR components. Ensure that all components are properly mounted and connected. Using scan tool, clear all SIR DTC's. Road test vehicle, then check for DTC's. If DTC is retrieved, go to step 2. If DTC is not retrieved, system is normal.
