DTC B1001

Diagnostic Instructions

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1001 00

Option Configuration

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module stores a primary data key, which is a 4-digit number. When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module compares this information to the information stored in the body control module (BCM) via serial data. If there is a mismatch between the information stored in the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module and body control module, DTC B1001 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

System voltage is between 9–16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 4-digit Primary Data Key stored in the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module does not match the 4 digits stored in the body control module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
  • The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module disables all deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The last 4-digit Primary Data Key in the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module matches the last 4 digits stored in the Body Control Module.

Diagnostic Aids

  • This DTC is an indication that an incorrect inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module is installed in the vehicle, or that the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module and/or the body control module was replaced without reprogramming the body control module with the new information.
  • If the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module was previously programmed and DTC B1001 is now set, the setup portion of program was not completed. Proceed to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module setup portion of the K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module: Programming and Setup
