This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has 2 fused power inputs. You should remove both AIR BAG and SDM fuses from the BCM fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SIR system malfunction.

The SIR system has been divided into Disabling and Enabling Zones. When performing service on or near SIR components or the SIR wiring, it may be necessary to disable the SIR components in that zone. It may be necessary to disable more than one zone, depending on the location of other SIR components, and the area being serviced.
