DTC Descriptors
DTC B1370 01: Device Ignition 1 Circuit Short to BatteryDTC B1370 06: Device Ignition 1 Circuit Short to Ground or Open
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | High Resistance | Open | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition 1 | B1370 06 | -- | B1370 06 | B1370 01 | B1370 06 |
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) monitors the ignition 1 signal from the ignition switch. When the vehicle ignition switch is placed in the RUN or CRANK position the switch supplies voltage to the SDM ignition 1 input terminal. If an open, short to voltage, or short to ground in this SDM ignition 1 circuit is detected then DTC B1370 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The following conditions exist for at least 10 seconds:
B1370 01
The SDM detects a short to battery in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the switch is in the OFF position.
B1370 06
The SDM detects a short to ground or an open in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the ignition switch is in RUN or CRANK.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
| • | The SDM stores DTC to memory. |
| • | The SDM determines its power mode only from the GMLAN power mode messages and discards the ignition 1 input for the remainder of the ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
A history DTC maybe caused by an intermittent short or open in the ignition 1 circuit.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, remove the AIR BAG fuse from the BCM fuse center. Ignition ON, engine OFF, test for 9-16 volts between the voltage supply side of the fuse and ground.
- Disconnect the SDM harness connector.
- Disconnect the BCM harness connector X3.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the BCM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal D7 X3 and the SDM terminal 33.
- Test for infinite resistance between the SDM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 33 and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the SDM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 33 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
• SDM module • SDM wiring harness connector
| ⇒ | If not within the specific range, refer to DTC B1370. |
| ⇒ | If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the circuit for short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If greater then the specified value, test the circuit for a short to voltage. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
