Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the ignition is turned ON, the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module and the Passenger Presence Module perform tests to diagnose critical malfunctions. Upon a successful power-up mode the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module will illuminate both PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF indicators located in the overhead center console. If the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module detects a fault in the Passenger Presence Module, it may disable the front passenger air bag deployment loop, set DTC B0081 00 or DTC B0081 3A and illuminate the AIRBAG indicator.
