DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Conditions For Setting DTC
DTC sets when passenger deployment loop voltage and resistance tests are not within specified ranges.
DTC will set if DEPLOYMENT LOOP VOLTAGE test is within the following ranges:
- IGNITION POSITIVE VOLTAGE is within normal operating range.
- Deployment loop is not shorted to voltage.
- PASSENGER SIDE HIGH voltage is more than 2.4 volts.
- Deployment loop resistance is at least 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
DTC will set if DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE test is within the following ranges:
- IGNITION POSITIVE VOLTAGE is within normal operating range.
- Deployment loop is not shorted to voltage.
- Deployment loop is not shorted to ground.
- Deployment loop resistance is greater than 4.8 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
