Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)







The lamp fault code (LFC) indicate the specific fault associated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1982.

Normal Operation
The seat track position sensor informs the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position.

The RCM monitors the driver seat track position sensor circuits. If the RCM detects a short to voltage, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1982 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 7-11 on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A driver seat track position sensor open circuit or short to battery fault can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty seat track position sensor.
- a faulted RCM.
