PINPOINT TEST V: LFC 15/DTC C1414 - INCORRECT VEHICLE ID


V1-V2:






V3-V6:






V7-V8:






Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the communication condition and circuits of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system for an embedded vehicle ID. If the RCM detects an unexpected condition or code from the OCS, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator. For Hybrid vehicles, the RCM also monitors for a ground circuit on C2041a pin 21.

Possible Causes
An incorrect vehicle identification code can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- incorrect OCS system for vehicle.
- incorrect RCM for vehicle.
