jimmers Can't read or clear SIR codes

I can't read or clear my SIR codes. When I ground out terminal "K" nothing happens. The INFL REST light does not flash.

I replaced my faulty DERM this spring, and it solved my seat belt and INFL REST light problem. Last week the INFL REST light came back on. The airbag light is still off.

Any idea why I cant read the codes? I read the codes on the CCM and ECM just to test my jumper wire and they work fine.

Thanks!

Are you grounding the K terminal to the seat frame? I've read that's where you should ground it. Something to try. Also, I read on CAC that a bad fuse can cause the light to remain lit.

I'm not much help with the newer style dashes, so maybe Andy has some more advice.

I've been grounding terminal K to A. The weird thing is that the light doesnt flash at all. I'll check the fuse later today.

Just because the light is on, does not mean there is a code. It is often a indicator of another fault. In this case following the diag tree will walk you down.

You either have a bad Derm or a short in a wire to the IP Harness.


BTW, what did you do with your old Derm?

I threw out the old Derm.
The codes are stored in the Derm though right? If I can't read them I'm assuming its a bad Derm. I'll follow the tree in my FSM and see what I can find. Thanks!
