Some owners may comment of an intermittent SIR MIL. When checking for DTC's, any of the following
Condition
may be set: B0012, B0013, B0014, B0015, B0019, B0020, B0021, and/or B0022. In most cases, it will have
symptom codes for both high and low loop resistance (0D - Loop Resistance Above Threshold and 0E Loop Resistance Below Threshold).
This concern could be caused by interference from an aftermarket USB and/or phone charger plugged
into the 12 volt power outlet. Below is a screen print of the scan tool displaying the resistance of an air
bag deployment loop.
- 1 is with only a USB charger plugged into the center console 12 volt power outlet and slight
Cause
resistance changes can be seen.
- 2 is when a phone was plugged into the USB charger and the deployment loop resistance is
fluctuating up and down greatly. This fluctuation up and down is why many cases will have both
symptoms codes for the loop resistance being above and below threshold (0D and 0E).
- 3 is with everything unplugged from the 12 volt power outlet and the resistance is very steady, as it
should be.
Correction:
If, after following normal diagnostics and the root cause is not found, inspect the vehicle and/or question the customer if they are
using any type of USB/phone charger/etc.
As in the example above, the scan tool was used to monitor the suspect air bag loop resistance while using/operating the aftermarket
item plugged into the 12 volt power outlet.
If the concern is intermittent and/or can not be duplicated, ask the owner to refrain from using anything that is being plugged into the
12 volt power outlets and see if the issue goes away.
Shown below is one example of a USB charger that has caused this type of concern.
