Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)
The lamp fault codes (LFCs) indicate the specific flagged faults associated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2295:
Normal Operation
A seat side air bag module provides protection of the thorax area (between the neck and abdomen) of the body, working in conjunction with the head protection provided by a safety canopy module. Vehicles equipped with seat side air bag modules will also be equipped with safety canopy modules.
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all of the seat side air bag circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the seat side air bag circuits, it will store DTC B2295 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a LFC on the air bag indicator.
Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- Low resistance
- High resistance or circuit open
- Circuit short to battery
- Circuit short to ground
Possible Causes
A seat side air bag status fault can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulted seat side air bag module.
- a faulted RCM.
