Has anyone ever pulled this code? B1026: Driver Deployment Loop Open

My guess is that there is a bad connection in the drivers side airbag. I'm Going to first make sure everything is still plugged in. If its not just a plug in I'm thinking about using a continuity tester to check for proper conduction through the harness.

Any other ideas?
Thank you
Kyle

unknown at this time.
Here is part of the diag sheet for that code do you want the whole thing?

Circuit Description

When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM. Next the SDM measures IGNITION 1 voltage to ensure that the IGNITION 1 is within respective normal voltage range. Then the SDM proceeds with the DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY test. During the DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY test, the SDM measures the voltage difference between DRIVER SIDE HIGH and DRIVER SIDE LOW.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

  • The voltage difference between DRIVER SIDE HIGH terminal 2 and DRIVER SIDE LOW terminal 3 is more than or equal to 400 millivolts.
  • The malfunction must be present for at least 500 milliseconds during one of the following tests:
  • DEPLOYMENT LOOP CONTINUITY If the malfunction is detected in this test, the RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT test will not be performed.
  • CONTINUOUS MONITORING
Action Taken When the DTC Sets


  • The SDM sets a diagnostic trouble code.
  • The SDM turns ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC


  • Current DTC The voltage difference between DRIVER SIDE HIGH terminal 2 and DRIVER SIDE LOW terminal 3 is less than 400 millivolts for 500 milliseconds.
  • History DTC
  • You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.
  • After 250 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred
Diagnostic Aids
The following may cause an intermittent condition:


  • A poor connection at the Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module column connector terminals A and B
  • A poor connection at the upper Inflatable Restraint steering wheel coil connector terminals A and B
  • A poor connection at the SDM terminals 2 and 3
  • An open in circuit 347
  • An open in circuit 348
An intermittent open in the Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil could also set this DTC. To test for a bad Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil, clear the DTCs, then turn the steering wheel back and forth with the ignition switch in the RUN position. If the AIR BAG warning lamp comes ON and DTC B1026 has set again, the cause is likely the Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil is malfunctioning.
When measurements are requested in this table, use the J 39200 DMM with the correct terminal adapter from the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit. When an inspection for proper connection is requested, refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. When a wire, connector or terminal repair is requested, use the J 38125-B Terminal Repair kit and refer to Wiring Repairs.

Thank you Sunlitcomet. I'm going to take a stab at it this weekend. I think I'm going to try clearing the code first to check the steering wheel control module and then go from there.
Have you ever removed the airbag from the center of the steering wheel? Is it very hard?
Thank you
Kyle

Be careful messing with that air bag man. An accidental deployment would reallyyyyyy be ******
