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 module. Vehicles equipped with seat side air bag modules will also be equipped with 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 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2295 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a lamp fault code (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.
