Hummer H2. Manual - part 2026

Electronic Front End Sensor ID  

The scan tool displays a 2 digit ID number. The ID signal is sent to the SDM from the front end sensor. 

Ignition Voltage  

The scan tool displays 0-20 volts. The Ignition represents the system voltage measured by the SDM at its 
ignition feed. 

Julian Date of Build  

The scan tool displays a 3 digit number. Which represents the day of the year the module was built. 

ROM ID  

The scan tool displays a 4 digit number. This number is the programmable read-only memory (PROM) 
ID. 

Year Module Built  

The scan tool displays what year the module was built.

low circuits. There is a shorting bar used within the I/P module connector which will short together both I/P 
module high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected, this will help to prevent unwanted 
deployment of the inflator module during servicing. During a 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 I/P module. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for 
proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a diagnostic trouble 
code (DTC) will be stored in memory. 

Conditions for Running the DTC 

Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range. 

Conditions for Setting the DTC 

z

DTC B0016 will set when the I/P module deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 500 
milliseconds.  

z

DTC B0017 will set when one of the following conditions occurs: 

{

I/P module high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and the I/P module deployment loop is more than 6 
ohms for 500 milliseconds.  

{

I/P module deployment loop resistance is more than 4.8 ohms for 500 milliseconds.  

z

DTC B0018 will set when one of the following conditions occur: 

{

I/P module high and/or low circuits is short to ground or short to voltage for 500 milliseconds.  

{

I/P module high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and I/P module deployment loop resistance is less than 
6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.  

Action Taken When the DTC Sets 

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data. 

Conditions for Clearing the DTC 

z

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is 
used.  

z

A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.  

Diagnostic Aids 

The following are possible causes of the malfunction: 

z

A short between the I/P module high and low circuits.  

z

An open or a high resistance in the I/P module high or low circuits.  

z

A short to ground or a short to voltage in the I/P module high or low circuits.  

z

The I/P module connector  

z

The SDM connector

Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors 
may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an 
intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring 
Systems. 

Test Description 

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 

4: Tests to see if the malfunction is caused by the I/P module.  

6: Tests to see what DTCs are present. If DTC B0016 is present, test the I/P module for a short between 
high and low circuits. If DTC B0017 is present, test the I/P module high and low circuits for an open and 
for high resistance. If DTC B0018 is present, test the I/P module high and low circuits for a short to 
ground and for a short to voltage.
