Circuit/System Description
The PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators located on the rearview mirror are used to notify the driver when the passenger presence system (PPS) has enabled or disabled the instrument panel (I/P) inflator module. The PPS air bag indicators will also inform the driver of any PPS malfunctions. When the ignition is turned on, the PPS module is supplied with ignition 1 voltage and illuminates both passenger air bag ON/OFF indicators for 5 seconds. The PPS module conducts tests on the PPS components and circuits while both passenger air bag ON/OFF indicators are ON. If no malfunctions are detected the PPS module will turn the passenger air bag indicator ON or OFF depending on the status of the PPS.

Circuit/System Verification
With the passenger seat occupied and unoccupied the inflatable restraint passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator should switch states within 5 seconds.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rear view mirror.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 13 and ground.
- With the right front passenger seat occupied, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal 3 and B+.
- With the right front passenger seat vacant, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 3 and B+.
- With the right front passenger seat vacant, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal 4 and B+.
- With the right front passenger seat occupied, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 4 and B+.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inside rear view mirror.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance, if the circuit tests normal and the ignition fuse is open, replace the inside rear view mirror. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
