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 connection of the yellow 2–pin

connector.

4. This test cheeks for proper operation of the shorting

clip in the yellow 2–pin connector.

5. The test checks for a malfunction passenger air bag

assembly.

6. This test determines whether the malfunctioning is

due to shorting in the wiring.

Diagnostic Aids:

An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
between CKTs IB07–YEL/GRN and IB08–YEL/RED, or a
malfunctioning shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly which would require replacement of the air bag
assembly.  The test for this diagnostic trouble code is only
run while “AIR BAG” warning lamp is performing the bulb
check, unless DTC 17 or DTC 26 is detected.  When a
scan tool “Clear Codes” command is issued and the
malfunction is still present, the DTC will not reappear until
the next ignition cycle.

DTC 17  Passenger Deployment Loop Open

D09RW002

Circuit Description:

When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SDM will
perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within
itself.  Upon passing these tests, “ignition 1”,  and
deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure they
are within their respective normal voltage ranges.  During
“Continuous Monitoring” diagnostics, a fixed amount of
current is flowing in the deployment loop.  This produces
proportional voltage drops in the loop.  By monitoring the
voltage difference between “Passenger Bag High” and
“Passenger Bag Low”, the SDM calculates the combined
resistance of the passenger air bag assembly, harness
wiring CKTs IB07–YEL/GRN and IB08–YEL/RED, and
connector terminal contact.

DTC Will Set When:

The voltage difference between “Passenger Bag High”
terminal “15” and “Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” is

above or equal to a specified value for 500 milliseconds
during “Continuous Monitoring”.

Action Taken:

SDM turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and sets a
diagnostic trouble code.

DTC Will Clear When:

The voltage difference between “Passenger Bag High”
terminal “15” and “Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” is
below a specified value for 500 milliseconds during
“Continuous Monitoring”.

3. This test verifies proper connection of the yellow

2–pin connector.

4. This test cheeks for proper contact and/or corrosion

of the shorting clip in the yellow 2–pin connector
terminals.

5. The test checks for a malfunctioning passenger air

bag assembly.

6. This test determines whether there is an open in the

wiring.

Diagnostic Aids:

An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at the passenger air bag assembly harness
connector terminals “1” and “2,” SDM terminals “15” and
“16,” or an open in CKT IB07–YEL/GRN and
IB08–YEL/RED.
