Action Taken

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1991 Geo Storm, 1991 Geo Metro, 1990 Geo Storm, and 1990 Geo Metro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DERM turns on INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator light.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart. For circuit number identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  1. Checks if fault is in steering column. SIR load tester simulates resistance of good steering column wiring and components.
  2. Determines if fault is in inflator module or SIR coil. SIR load tester simulates resistance of a good inflator module.
  3. Determines if fault is on deployment loop side of DERM side of resistor module.
  4. Checks for open in SENSE HI (circuit No. 753).
  5. Checks for a shorted circuit No. 688 to circuit No. 753.
