SDM warns driver of SIR system malfunction by controlling AIR BAG warning light.
SDM is connected to SIR wiring harness by a 20-pin connector. Harness connector utilizes a shorting bar across certain terminals in contact area. Shorting bar connects AIR BAG warning light to ground when SDM harness connector is disconnected. This causes AIR BAG warning light to come on steady whenever ignition is on.
