Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the resistance of the driver seat side air bag module circuit loop and the air bag module igniter at RCM C2041b pins 2 and 3. If the resistance is greater than 3.6 ohms, the RCM will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1994 and flash Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 36.

Possible Causes
A high resistance on the driver seat side air bag module circuit can be caused by:
^ damaged wiring on circuit 1257 (WH/LB).
^ damaged wiring on circuit 1258 (BN/LB).
^ damaged driver seat side air bag module.
^ a faulted RCM.
