PINPOINT TEST M: DTC B2296 - RESTRAINT SYSTEM - IMPACT SENSOR FAULT

Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)
The following LFCs indicate the specific fault PIDs associated with DTC B2296:







Normal Operation
The impact sensor(s) provide data to the restraints control module (RCM) for use in calculating impact severity. This is accomplished using various electrical and electro-mechanical sensor(s) throughout the vehicle.

The RCM checks all of the impact sensor circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the impact sensor circuits, it will store DTC B2296 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a LFC on the air bag warning indicator.
