Action Taken
DERM turns on INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator until current Code 51 is cleared.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart. For circuit number identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS.
WARNING:
To avoid air bag deployment while trouble shooting SIR system, only use test equipment specified in diagnostic charts. Under no circumstances should battery powered test equipment or test light be used. Carefully follow all instructions.
- Code 51, once detected, can be erased as a current code but will remain as a non-erasable history code.
- If inflator has not deployed, Code 51 may have set falsely.
- If Code 51 is current with no signs of frontal impact, code set falsely.
- Checks for a DERM fault setting false code.
- Test determines whether code was set inadvertently during diagnosis.
- When an accident has occurred, perform indicated procedures to ensure SIR system is fully functional.
