Retrieving Lamp Flash Codes (LFC)

The air bag control module stores any faults detected during a driving cycle in a non volatile memory, which can be accessed through the Data Link Connector (DLC) using appropriate test equipment. The air bag control module indicates the presence of a fault by flashing the air bag warning indicator after the initial prove out sequence. The behavior of the warning indicator depends on the type of fault present.

The air bag warning indicator is located in the instrument cluster. It illuminates for approximately six seconds when the ignition is turned ON and then will go OFF unless a fault is detected. If a fault is detected the warning indicator will start to flash after another 5 seconds.





The Safety Restraint System fitted to this vehicle will communicate faults/concerns detected by the air bag control module during a driving cycle or after initial key on by means of a warning indicator contained within the instrument cluster.

Lamp Flash Codes:

If a concern is detected, the control module will communicate by flashing the warning indicator to give a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). For additional information on the DTCs, refer to the Priority Index. Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures

Air Bag Indicator:

If the air bag warning indicator fails, the air bag control module uses the secondary air bag warning indicator. The secondary air bag warning indicator will only flash if there is a fault present and the primary air bag warning indicator is inoperative.
