DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The "SIR Diagnostic System Check" must always be the starting point of any SIR system diagnosis. The "SIR Diagnostic System Check" checks for proper "AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and checks for SIR diagnostic trouble codes using the scan tool,
1. Current diagnostic trouble codes - Malfunctions that are presently being detected. Current diagnostic trouble codes are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).
2. History diagnostic trouble codes - All malfunctions detected since the last time the history memory was cleared. History diagnostic trouble codes are stored in Electrically Erasable Programmable Readable Memory(EEPROM).
