Safety canopies are designed to provide occupant protection during a side impact or in the event the vehicle rolls over. Refer to AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) .
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all safety canopy module circuits for faults. For vehicles that are not equipped with safety canopies, the RCM monitors the LH bridge resistor and related circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on the LH bridge resistor or safety canopy module circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2294 in memory and, depending on the fault, flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 24, 25, 31 or 32 on the air bag indicator.
