Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)







The lamp fault code (LFC) indicates the specific fault associated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1982.

Normal Operation
The seat track position sensor informs the RCM of the drivers seat position.

The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the driver seat track position sensor circuits. If the RCM detects a short to voltage, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1982 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a lamp fault code on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A driver seat track position sensor open circuit or short to battery fault can be caused by:
- faulted wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty seat track position sensor.
- a faulted RCM.
