Test I: DTC B2294 - Restraint System - Curtain Fault

PINPOINT TEST I: DTC B2294 - RESTRAINT SYSTEM - CURTAIN FAULT

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all safety canopy module circuits for faults. The RCM will set a DTC if a short to battery or short to ground fault is detected. The RCM will also set a DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms. The normal expected resistance range is 1.31 to 4.29 ohms. If a loop resistance is between 0.9 and 1.31 or between 4.29 and 5 ohms, there exists a strong potential for an intermittent fault. If the RCM detects a fault on any of the safety canopy module circuits, it will store DTC B2294 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.







This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Safety canopy module
- RCM
