Normal Operation

Impact Sensor
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) communicates with the front severity impact sensor to determine if the sensor is at the correct version level for the SRS installed in each vehicle. If the RCM detects a version conflict between the RCM and the sensor, it will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Vehicle ID
The RCM monitors the electrical condition at C310b pins 7 and 8 to detect the vehicle identification code. The RCM compares the pin state with a preprogrammed code. If the RCM detects an unexpected condition at either of these pins, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
An incorrect vehicle ID fault can be caused by:
^ Incorrect front impact severity sensor for vehicle.
^ Incorrect RCM for vehicle.
^ Wiring, terminals, or connectors.
^ Incorrect OCS for vehicle.
