Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions .
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion to the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
  • Pretensioner
  • Inflatable restraint module
  • SDM module
  • Inflatable restraint module wiring harness connector
  • SDM wiring harness connector
    IMPORTANT: The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other. Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
  1. Verify that the appropriate inflator restraint module connector and CPA are engaged.
    • If the above condition is not found, make the appropriate repair.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate inflatable restraint module.
  3. With the appropriate load tool adaptor, connect J 38715-A  in place of the inflatable restraint module. See Special Tools .
  4. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, verify the appropriate DTC is set as current.
    • If the DTC is not set or is set as history, cycle ignition OFF, disconnect the adapter and J 38715-A  , reconnect the harness connector at the inflator restraint module, and cycle the ignition ON. See Special Tools . If the DTC resets after reconnecting the module, replace the inflator restraint module.
  5. Ignition OFF, disconnect J 38715-A  and the appropriate adaptor. See Special Tools .
  6. Disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
  7. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the appropriate high control circuit listed below and ground:
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal B X1
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal B X2
    • Left roof rail module terminal B
    • Right roof rail module terminal B
    • Left side impact module terminal B
    • Right side impact module terminal B
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 2
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 2
    • If not within the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  8. Test for less than 1 volt between the appropriate low control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal A X1
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal A X2
    • Left roof rail module terminal A
    • Right roof rail module terminal A
    • Left side impact module terminal A
    • Right side impact module terminal A
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 1
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 1
    • If not within the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  9. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the appropriate high control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal B X1
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal B X2
    • Left roof rail module terminal B
    • Right roof rail module terminal B
    • Left side impact module terminal B
    • Right side impact module terminal B
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 2
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 2
    • If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground.
  10. Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate low control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal A X1
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal A X2
    • Left roof rail module terminal A
    • Right roof rail module terminal A
    • Left side impact module terminal A
    • Right side impact module terminal A
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 1
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 1
    • If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground.
  11. Test for less then 1 ohm between the appropriate high control circuit terminals listed below.
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal B X1 and SDM terminal 10
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal B X2 and SDM terminal 6
    • Left roof rail module terminal B and SDM terminal 21
    • Right roof rail module terminal B and SDM terminal 22
    • Left side impact module terminal B and SDM terminal 13
    • Right side impact module terminal B and SDM terminal 14
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 2 and SDM terminal 25
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 2 and SDM terminal 26
    • If not within the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance.
  12. Test for less then 1 ohm between the appropriate low control circuit terminals listed below:
    • I/P module Stage 1 terminal A X1 and SDM terminal 11
    • I/P module Stage 2 terminal A X2 and SDM terminal 7
    • Left roof rail module terminal A and SDM terminal 20
    • Right roof rail module terminal A and SDM terminal 23
    • Left side impact module terminal A and SDM terminal 12
    • Right side impact module terminal A and SDM terminal 15
    • Left seat belt pretensioner terminal 1 and SDM terminal 24
    • Right seat belt pretensioner terminal 1 and SDM terminal 27
    • If not within the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance.
  13. If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.
