When the Restraints Control Module (RCM) detects a system fault, it will cause the air bag indicator to flash a coded sequence; a Lamp Fault Code (LFC). The code is comprised of two digits. The first digit is flashed with a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 2 second pause before the second digit is flashed which also has a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 5 second pause between each display of an LFC.

Each LFC is flashed three times after which the air bag indictor will remain lit for the remainder of the key-on cycle. If there are multiple LFCs, each LFC will flash in order of priority.
