Pinpoint Test 18: DTC C1414 - Incorrect Module Design Level

PINPOINT TEST 18: DTC C1414 - INCORRECT MODULE DESIGN LEVEL

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors communication messages from the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and the powertrain control module (PCM) for an embedded vehicle ID. If the RCM detects an unexpected condition or code from the OCS or PCM, it will store DTC C1414 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC C1414 Incorrect Module Design Level - If the RCM detects software and hardwired VID combination that does not match at start-up, it will set this DTC.

Possible Causes
- Incorrect OCS module for vehicle
- Incorrect RCM for vehicle

Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING:
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and increase the risk of serious personal injury.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the air bag and increase the risk of serious personal injury.
- The safety belt pretensioner and adaptive load limiting retractor are pyrotechnic devices. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner/adaptive load limiting retractor. Never probe a pretensioner or adaptive load limiting retractor electrical connector. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioner, adaptive load limiting retractor or air bag module and may result in serious personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and the risk of serious personal injury.


CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE:
- The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
