DTC Descriptor

DTC B0052 00

Deployment Commanded Malfunction

DTC B0052 56

Deployment Commanded Too Many Transitions

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) senses vehicle impacts and provides deployment signals to the air bags and anchor and/or retractor pretensioners when warranted. The SDM sets DTC B0052 after each command for deployment. DTC B0052 will latch and not clear until after 3 commanded deployments by the SDM. The SDM must therefore be replaced using the end of life disposal procedure.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The SDM detects a frontal impact of sufficient force to warrant deployment of the frontal air bags.

The SDM detects a side impact or rollover (if equipped) of sufficient force to warrant deployment of a seat side air bag and/or roof rail air bag.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM requests the instrument cluster to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


DTC B0052 00 is a clearable DTC and may be cleared with a scan tool without replacing the SDM.

DTC B0052 56 is a latched DTC. This DTC cannot be erased with the scan tool. The SDM must be replaced.
