PINPOINT TEST P: DTC B1891 - AIR BAG TONE WARNING INDICATOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY OR IGNITION


Test P1:

Test P3-P5:






Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its connection to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) at pin 20. This connection is used to signal a chime if the air bag indicator is inoperative and another SRS fault exists. If the RCM detects a short to battery or ignition on the connection to the GEM, it will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1891 in memory.

Possible Causes
An air bag tone warning indicator circuit short to battery or ignition could be caused by:
^ wiring, terminals, or connectors.
^ a damaged or inoperative GEM.
