Name of code: Warning Lamp Circuit Open/Shorted

NOTE: This code becomes active and stored as soon as the malfunction is detected.

When monitored: Continuously with the ignition on.

This message is transmitted once every second, and upon the change of lamp state, by the cluster. The message will contain the status of the bulb and the bulb driver. The instrument cluster will substitute the seat belt lamp for the airbag warning lamp, if the airbag warning lamp is defective.

Possible causes:
