- Ensure ignition is off. Remove left kick panel and disconnect Yellow seat belt pretensioner connector. Connect STEERING WHEEL connector of Load Tool (09932-75010) to harness side of pretensioner connector. Turn ignition on. Retrieve DTCs. If DTC B1042 is current, go to next step. If DTC B1042 is not current, replace seat belt pretensioner. See SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect SDM connector. See SENSING & DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between SDM connector terminals No. 11 (White wire) and No. 12 (Pink wire). See Figure. If resistance is more than 1.4 ohms, substitute a known-good SDM and retest. If resistance is less than 1.4 ohms, repair short between White wire or Pink wire. Reconnect all components. Clear DTCs. See DIAGNOSTICS . Repeat AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
