Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Programming and Setup
Important: The air bag indicator light may remain ON after the body control module (BCM), or inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is replaced, and during the programming procedure for the BCM until after the procedure is completed. When installing a new SDM, there may be several DTCs set prior to programming. Once programmed, these DTCs should be in history and can be cleared.
1. Ignition ON, program the SDM. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) (Programming and Relearning).
2. In the BCM Module Setup menu, select Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM. Follow the scan tool on screen instructions.
3. In the SDM Module Setup menu, select Setup SDM. Follow the scan tool on screen instructions.
4. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. Verify no DTCs are set. If any DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions).
