Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)

LAMP FAULT CODES (LFC)

When the restraints control module (RCM) detects a system fault, it will cause the air bag warning indicator to flash a coded sequence; 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 5 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.

Each LFC has one or more associated DTCs.
