The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) monitors the ignition 1 signal from the ignition switch. When the vehicle ignition switch is placed in the RUN or CRANK position, the switch supplies voltage to the SDM ignition 1 input terminal. If an open, short to voltage, or short to ground in this SDM ignition 1 circuit is detected, then DTC B1370 will set.
