Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- With the ignition OFF, disconnect I/P module in-line connector. Refer to Inflatable Restraint I/P Module Replacement for location of connector.
- Inspect the component and wiring harness sides of the in-line connector for the I/P module for damage or corrosion.
- If the in-line connector for the I/P module is damaged, the I/P module must be replaced.
- If the I/P module wiring harness side connector is damaged, replace the harness side of the connector.
- Use J 38715-100 adapter to connect the J 38715-A SIR Driver/Passenger Load Tool to the harness side of the I/P module in-line wiring harness connector. Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
- With the ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B0016, B0017, or B0018 are set in history.
- If DTC B0016, B0017, or B0018 is history replace the I/P module.
- With the ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the J 38715-A and adapter.
- Remove the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) connector. Inspect the SDM connector for damage or corrosion that may cause a malfunction in the I/P module high and/or low circuits. Refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.
- If damage or corrosion is found make the appropriate repair.
- Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and I/P module for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance.
- If circuits test good then replace the SDM.
