Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)







The lamp fault code (LFC) indicate the specific fault associated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1948.

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 current out of range condition, it will store DTC C1948 in memory, flash a LFC 7-7 on the air bag indicator and the secondary air bag warning chime will be activated.

Possible Causes
A seat track sensor circuit resistance out of range fault can be caused by:
- a faulty driver seat track position sensor.
- a faulted RCM.
