DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION






IMPORTANT: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Testing and Inspection

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the roof side rail module. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. A shorting bar used within the roof rail module connector will short together both roof rail module - right high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

B0023 01
The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is short to voltage for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 02
The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is short to ground for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 04
The roof rail module - right high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 0D
The roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is more than 3.9 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

B0023 0E
The roof rail module - right deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via serial data communications.
- The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
- A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
1. Ignition OFF, remove the right rear trim and disconnect the roof rail module - right connector.

IMPORTANT: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- The roof rail module - right
- The SDM module
- The roof rail module - right wiring harness connector
- The SDM wiring harness connector

2. Connect the J 38715-A to the harness side of the roof rail module - right connector. Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
3. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B0023 is set in history.
- If DTC B0023 is history, replace the roof rail module - right.
4. Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the J 38715-A. Then remove the SDM connector.
5. Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and roof rail module - right for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance.
- If any of the above conditions are found, make the appropriate repair.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests

- Inflatable Restraint Roof Rail Module Replacement
- Control Module References for SDM replacement, setup, and programming.
