S: DTC B1241-Non Volatile Memory Configuration Failure

Normal Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module memory must be configured differently for vehicles with different options. This can be done using either the Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS) or the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester.

The ECS checks the memory option content for the correct configuration.

If the ECS detects the incorrect configuration, it will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B2141 in memory and flash airbag indicator five times per second.

Possible Causes
A non-volatile memory configuration failure can be caused by:
- an incorrect configuration file used.
- a damaged or inoperative ECS module.
