The front air bags will deploy upon receiving a flow of current from the restraints control module (RCM). Refer to AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) .
The RCM checks all of the front air bag circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the front air bag circuits, it will store DTC B2293 in memory, and depending on the fault, flash a LFC on the air bag indicator. The secondary air bag warning chime will also be activated.
