DTC 18 Passenger Deployment Loop Short To Ground
D09R200001
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned ªONº, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, ªignition 1º, and
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltages at ªDriver Bag Lowº
terminal ª4º and ªPassenger Bag Lowº terminal ª16º to
detect short to ground in the air bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
Neither of the two air bag assemblies is open.
ªIgnition 1º is within the normal operating voltage range.
Once these conditions are met and the voltage at
ªPassenger Bag Lowº is below a specified value, DTC 18
will set. This test is run once each ignition cycle and
ªContinuous Monitoringº.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When:
This malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition
switch is turned ªOFFº.
DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the SDM is
malfunctioning.
3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the
passenger air bag assembly yellow 2±pin connector

4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
CKT IB07±YEL/GRN.

RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM 9J1±22
5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
CKT IB08±YEL/RED.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to ground in the passenger air bag assembly circuit.Inspect CKTs IB07±YEL/GRN and IB08±YEL/RED
carefully for cutting or chafing. If the wiring pigtail of the
passenger air bag assembly is damaged, the component
must be replaced.

DTC 19 Passenger Deployment Loop Short To Voltage
D09R200001
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned ªONº, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, ªignition 1º, and
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM monitors the voltages at ªDriver Bag Lowº
terminal ª4º and ªPassenger Bag Lowº terminal ª16º to
detect short to B+ in the air bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When:
ªIgnition 1º is within the normal operating voltage range.
Once these conditions are met and the voltage at
ªPassenger Bag Lowº is above a specified value, DTC 19
will set. This test is run once each ignition cycle and
ªContinuous Monitoringº.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets
DTC 19 and also DTC 71.
DTC Will Clear When:
The SDM is replaced.

RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM 9J1±24
5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
CKT IB08±YEL/RED.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to B+ in the passenger air bag assembly circuit. Inspect
CKTs IB07±YEL/GRN and IB08±YEL/RED carefully forcutting or chafing. If the wiring pigtail of the passenger air
bag assembly is damaged, the component must be
replaced. A careful inspection of CKT IB07±YEL/GRN
and IB08±YEL/RED, including the passenger air bag
assembly pigtail is essential to ensure that the
replacement SDM will not be damaged.
DTC 19 Passenger Deployment Loop Short To Voltage
CAUTION: When DTC 19 has been set, it is necessary to replace the SDM. Setting DTC 19 and 25 or 51 or 53
will also cause DTC 71 to set. When a scan tool ªCLEAR CODESº command is issued and the malfunction
is no longer present, DTC 71 will remain current. Ensure that the short to voltage condition is repaired prior
to installing a replacement SDM to avoid damaging the SDM.

DTC 21 Driver Deployment Loop Resistance High
D09R200001
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is turned ªONº, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself. Upon passing these tests, ªignition 1º, and
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.
The SDM then proceeds with the ªResistance
Measurement Testº ªDriver Bag Lowº terminal ª4º is
grounded through a current sink and the driver current
source connected to ªDriver Bag Highº terminal ª3º allows
a known amount of current to flow. By monitoring the
voltage difference between ªDriver Bag Highº and ªDriver
Bag Lowº, the SDM calculates the combined resistance
of the driver air bag assembly, SRS coil assembly,
harness wiring CKTs IB05±YEL and IB06±YEL/BLK, and
connector terminal contact.
DTC Will Set When:
The combined resistance of the driver air bag assembly,
SRS Coil assembly, harness wiring CKTs IB05±YEL and
IB06±YEL/BLK, and connector terminal contact is above
a specified value. This test run once each ignition cycle
during the ªResistance Measurement Testº when:
No ªhigher priority faultsº are detected during
ªTurn±ONº
ªIgnition 1º voltage is in the specified value.
Action Taken:
SDM turns ªONº the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and sets
DTC 21.
DTC Will Clear When:
The ignition switch is turned ªOFFº.

DTC Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SDM.
3. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow
2±pin connector at the base of the steering column.
4. This test checks for proper contact and/or corrosion
of the 2±pin connector terminals at the base of
steering column.
5. This test isolate the malfunction to one side of the
SRS coil assembly yellow 2±pin connector located
at the base of the steering column.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is due
to high resistance in the wiring.
7. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.
Diagnostic Aids:
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at terminals ª1º and ª2º of the SRS coil 2±pin
connector at the base of the steering column, terminal ª1º
and ª2º of the driver air bag assembly 2±pin connector at
the top of the steering column, SDM terminals ª3º and ª4º
or a poor wire to terminal connection in CKT IB05±YEL or
IB06±YEL/BLK. The test for this diagnostic trouble code
is only run while the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp is
performing the bulb check, unless DTC 17 or DTC 26 is
detected. When a scan tool ªClear Codesº command is
issued and the malfunction is still present, the DTC will not
reappear until the next ignition cycle.
