Test K: LFC 42, 43, 44, 45 or 46 DTC B2296 - Restraint System - Impact Sensor Fault

PINPOINT TEST K: LFC 42, 43, 44, 45 OR 46 DTC B2296 - RESTRAINT SYSTEM - IMPACT SENSOR FAULT

NOTE:
- Short to ground faults can be reported as a short to battery fault. Make sure to follow the pinpoint test as directed to correctly diagnose any short to ground faults retrieved during on-demand self test.
- When monitoring fault and/or resistance PIDs with the scan tool, it may take up to 2 seconds for the scan tool display to update.

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (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 send a message to the instrument cluster module to flash, depending on the fault, either LFC 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 or 47 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag warning indicator.
