Test Notes

RH Primary Crash Sensor Feed/Return Circuit Open

Normal Operation
The voltage at Pin 17 (Circuit 617, PK/O) is approximately 10 volts (± 1 volt). Circuit 617 is connected to Circuit 624 (Y/W) inside the RH primary crash sensor. Therefore, the voltage at Pin 2 should be the same as the voltage at Pin 17. If the voltage at Pin 2 is less than the voltage at Pin 17, the air bag diagnostic monitor will flash code 41.

Possible Causes
Low voltage at Pin 2 can be caused by:
1. An open circuit in the wiring harness in either Circuit 617 (PK/O) or Circuit 624 (Y/W).
2. An open circuit in RH primary crash sensor across the PK/O and Y/W wires.
