B1884
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Pinpoint Test O: DTC B1884
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Set 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. Electrical Diagrams
Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) briefly activates the Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) indicator to prove-out and verify to the occupants correct functional operation of the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator.
The RCM (Restraints Control Module) monitors the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator
If the RCM (Restraints Control Module) detects a fault on the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuit, it will store DTC B1884 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC B1884 (PAD Warning Lamp Circuit Failure)- If the RCM (Restraints Control Module) detects an open or short to ground on the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuit, it will set this DTC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator
- RCM (Restraints Control Module)
PINPOINT TEST O : DTC B1884
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test. Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components should only be disconnected or reconnected when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
NOTE: The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
