Electrical - where to begin

[rockola1971]

Did anyone catch this first sentence? "I am a septuagenarian lady with a 2001 Yukon XL 2500 4WD SLT 6.0l.".

septuagenarian- a person who is from 70 to 79 years old.

I had to look it up. Who even talks like that? So a woman in her 70's with an Alldata subscription and willing to jump into electrical diagnosis? Me thinks we are being trolled here.

Maybe an AI got bored.

I doubt it, but it might make some of the suggestions harder to perform

I am not if the steering wheel was removed - but I know my shift lever is not as tight as it was.
If the sensor is bad due to age would it make the ’seatbelt’ light go on? I have not had that light stay on at all. These seem to be mystery codes.
Thanks for the info.

The only thing I’m trolling for is how to fix my damn rig!

The only reason I might not be able to perform tasks is my height (I am not tall) and lack of experience. Hence, my asking for help here.

I have ladders for getting into the engine bay. I can easily get under the car.

When you get to 70+ - call yourself whatever you like. You can thank me for giving you the incentive to learn something new today.

See full response to you below. I’m still getting the hang of this.

I am in my last year as a septuagenarian, next year I will be a octogonsomething. All yall young folks are amusing to me.

The air bag computer surveys the seat occupancy, seat belt buckle, descrete impact sensors and the circuitry connecting all these components. Normal resistance for the impact circuits has a range. I cannot remember the range, but it is something like 1.8 to 3.8 olhms on a reference voltage of 2.4 volts. Beee extremely causions when touubleshooting this system. Appars like a voltage above the 2.4 reference voltage exposes the air bag with a bang. As you see, I do not have spell checker. Disconnct the negative battery terminal and let all capacitors discharge.
