Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2002 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If SIR Diagnostic System Check has been performed, go to next step. If SIR Diagnostic System Check has not been performed, go to SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
  2. Using scan tool, request SIR DTC display. If DTC B0079 or B0080 is retrieved as a current DTC, go to step  10. If DTC B0079 or B0080 is not retrieved as a current DTC, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect SIS sensor connector. See SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If connector is damaged or corroded, go to next step. If connector is okay, go to step  5.

  7. Test SIS circuits for an open or high resistance. If open or high resistance is found and corrected, go to step  11. If open or high resistance is not found, go to next step.
  8. Inspect SIS circuits for a short between voltage and signal circuits. If short is found and corrected, go to step  11. If short is not found, go to next step.
  9. Turn ignition on. Check SIS circuits for a short to voltage. If condition is found and corrected, go to step  11. If condition is not found, go to next step.
