Test I1-I3:






Test I3-I5:






Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the circuit to the passenger seat belt buckle pretensioner. When the RCM detects a circuit short to ground it will set lamp fault code (LFC) 18 and diagnostic test code (DTC) B1883.

Possible Causes
A passenger pretensioner circuit short to ground can be caused by:
- a short to battery or ignition on circuit 1081 (YE/RD).
- a short to battery or ignition on circuit 1082 (YE/BK).
- a short to battery or ignition on the passenger pretensioner.
- an RCM internal concern.
