Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0012 01 Stage 1 or B0013 01 Stage 2
The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is shorted to voltage for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 02 Stage 1 or B0013 02 Stage 2
The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is shorted to ground for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 04 Stage 1 or B0013 04 Stage 2
The driver steering wheel air bag high and/or low circuit is open for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 0D Stage 1 or B0013 0D Stage 2
The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is greater than 5.1 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
B0012 0E Stage 1 or B0013 0E Stage 2
The driver steering wheel air bag deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 120 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
* The SDM will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployments.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
* When a harness connector is disconnected, the high control and low control circuits are shorted together by the integral shorting bar. This
should be taken into account when testing for faults on these circuits.
* This DTC usually indicates a poor connection or a wiring malfunction between the SDM and the deployment loop.
