Normal Operation
Safety canopies are designed to provide occupant protection during a side impact or in the event the vehicle rolls over.

The restraints control module (RCM) checks all safety canopy module circuits for faults. For vehicles that are not equipped with safety canopies, the RCM monitors the LH bridge resistor and related circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on the LH bridge resistor or safety canopy module circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2294 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 24, 25, 31 or 32 on the air bag indicator.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- Low resistance
- High resistance or circuit open
- Circuit short to voltage
- Circuit short to ground

Possible Causes
A safety canopy module fault can be caused by:
- faulted wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty safety canopy module (if equipped).
- a faulty LH safety canopy bridge resistor (if equipped).
- a faulted RCM.
