Normal Operation

NOTE: If the deployable steering column electrical connector becomes damaged or the deployable steering column has deployed, a new overlay wiring harness must be installed. Make sure to follow the installation instructions that are included in the service kit.

As part of the SRS, the vehicle is equipped a deployable steering column. The RCM will deploy (collapse) the steering column during a frontal collision when seat position information and other parameters reach predetermined limits.

The restraints control module (RCM) checks the deployable steering column circuits for faults. If the RCM detects an open circuit, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2984 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC 57) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A deployable steering column open circuit fault can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty steering column
- a faulted RCM.
