ACTIVE COMMANDS

Instrument Cluster (IC) Module
These commands allow the technician to verify the operation of instrument cluster (IC) module components and subsystems.

Lamp Fault Code (LFC)
When the restraints control module (RCM) detects a system fault, it will send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator and to flash a coded sequence which is called a LFC. The code is 2 digits. The first digit is flashed with a 0.5-second interval between pulses. There is a 2-second pause before the second digit is flashed, which also has a 0.5-second interval between pulses. There is a 5-second pause between each display of an LFC.

Each LFC is flashed 3 times after which the air bag indictor will remain lit for the remainder of the key-on cycle. If there are multiple LFCs, each LFC will flash in order of priority.
