Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)







The lamp fault code (LFC) indicates the specific fault associated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1921:

WARNING: The tightening torque of the restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. Refer to Restraints Control Module (RCM) for correct torque values.

NOTE:
- A resistance difference as low as 10 ohms may set the LFC.
- The secondary warning chime will be activated along with the primary warning indicator when a fault is detected.

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance between the ground connections at the mounting bracket and the reference ground at the C310a Pin 16, circuit 676 (PK/OG).

If the RCM detects a difference in resistance, it will store DTC B1921 in memory, flash LFC 1-4 on the air bag indicator and the secondary air bag warning chime will be activated.

Possible Causes
A resistance difference between the RCM bracket ground and harness ground can be caused by:
- RCM bracket not securely mounted.
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulted RCM.
