Test G: LFC 18/DTC B1884 - PAD Warning Lamp Circuit Failure
PINPOINT TEST G: LFC 18/DTC B1884 - PAD WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT FAILURENormal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) has the ability to deactivate the passenger air bag under certain conditions. When the passenger air bag is deactivated, the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch warning lamp will be illuminated. The RCM monitors the PAD switch warning lamp for an open or short to ground. If the RCM detects an open (indicator does not illuminate) or short to ground (indicator illuminated continuously) on the PAD switch warning lamp circuit, it will store a DTC B1884 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to flash LFC 18 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC B1884 PAD Warning Lamp Circuit Failure - If the RCM detects an open circuit or short to ground when the indicator is not active for greater than 2.2 seconds on the PAD indicator circuit, it will set this DTC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connector
- Smart junction box (SJB) fuse
- PAD indicator
- PAD switch
- RCM
