DTC Descriptors
DTC B1019 3A
- SDM System Configuration Error Incorrect Component Installed




Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint and sensing diagnostic (SDM) is programmed to monitor the number of impact sensors and deployment loops connected. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM evaluates the number of deployment loops and impact sensors and if a mismatch is detected between the number that the SDM expects and the actual number present, DTC B1019 will set.


Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The incorrect SDM is installed on the vehicle.
* The incorrect software or calibrations have been flashed into the SDM.



Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG warning indicator.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
* A history DTC will clear once 250 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
