For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.

In case of the passenger side air bag inflation by side impact, the SDM maintains the warning lamp ON and then all the air bag systems should be inspected including pretensioners and also the side impact sensor, wiring should be replaced. If the passenger side air bag inflation by side impact counts over 5, the SDM should also be replaced.

### DTC Descriptor
