Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all side air curtain module circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the side air curtain module circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2294 in memory and flash, depending on the fault, either lamp fault code (LFC) 24 or 25 depending on the fault (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- low resistance.
- circuit open.
- circuit short to voltage.
- circuit short to ground.

Possible Causes
A side air curtain module fault can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals, or connectors.
- a faulty side air curtain module.
- a faulted RCM.
- a faulty side air curtain bridge resistor
