    Because the computer that monitors the airbag system has detected a problem in the airbag system. When this happens, the lights will come on and a code will be stored int eh module. That code needs to be retrieved and a diagnosis performed to determine what is wrong.

    My SDM can't be scan by the garage diagnostic equipment. They say the SDM is bad. How do I replace the SDM?
