Normal Operation
A seat side air bag module provides protection of the thorax area (between the neck and abdomen) of the body, working in conjunction with the head protection provided by a side air curtain module (if equipped).

The restraints control module (RCM) checks all of the seat side air bag circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the seat side air bag circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2295 in memory and illuminate the air bag indicator.

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

Possible Causes
A seat side air bag status fault can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulted seat side air bag module.
- a faulted RCM.
