Diagnose and repair the DTCs.




B1C2F-PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR STATUS MISMATCH



- When Monitored:
After the Switch Bank bulb check is completed, the ORC compares the lamp request by the ORC (Set/Not Set) and the (Set/Not Set) request by the Instrument Cluster Can bus messages. Each message is transmitted one time per second or when a change in the lap state occurs.

- Set Condition:
If the lamp request by the ORC (On or Off), and the Lamp On by the Instrument Cluster (On or Off), messages do not match, this code will set.
