With Hard Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)/Lamp Fault Codes (LFC)

WARNING: THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IS FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SERVICE ONLY. REMOVE FROM VEHICLE PRIOR TO ROAD USE. FAILURE TO REMOVE COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS.

Most air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require the use of the deactivation and reactivation procedures. These procedures require the removal of the driver air bag module and disconnection of the passenger air bag module, thereby removing the risk of air bag deployment while diagnostics are performed.

Restraint system diagnostic tools are required to perform diagnosis and testing of the SRS. The restraint system diagnostic tool is a 2-ohm resistor used to simulate air bag module connections to the system. It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a zero-ohm jumper wire. If a zero-ohm jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module connections, a Lamp Fault Code (LFC) will be displayed.
