Driver Resistance

The scan tool displays 0-6.3 ohms. The SDM performs the resistance measurement test once each ignition cycle and verifies the Ignition Positive Voltage and the 23 VLR voltages are within the normal ranges. Then the SDM sources a constant current to the driver deployment loop. The SDM then measures the voltage drop across the deployment loop and converts the measured voltage value to a driver deployment loop resistance value.
