Normal Operation
WARNING: The tightening torque of the restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. Refer to Restraints Control Module (RCM) for correct torque values.
NOTE: A resistance difference as low as 10 ohms can set the LFC.
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance between the ground connections at the mounting bracket and the reference ground at C2041a pin 16, circuit 1203 (BK/LB). If the RCM detects a difference in resistance, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1921 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 14 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
A resistance difference between the RCM bracket ground and harness ground can be caused by:
- an RCM or RCM bracket that is not securely mounted.
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulted RCM.
