Possible Causes

An air bag tone warning indicator circuit short to ground or open fault can be caused by damaged wiring, terminals or connectors, faulty instrument cluster or faulty RCM.

1. Check for hard or intermittent DTC
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to ON position. Retrieve and record any continuous DTCs. See RETRIEVING FAULT CODES  . Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B1892 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, fault is hard. Go to next step. If DTC B1892 was not retrieved, fault is intermittent. Go to step  6 .
2. Check air bag tone warning indicator circuit for short to ground
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Access RCM and disconnect harness connector C310A. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Access instrument cluster and disconnect connector C220B. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. See Figure . Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure resistance between ground and harness side RCM connector C310A, terminal No. 23 (Light Blue/Pink wire, circuit No. 1083). See Figure . If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, repair short to ground in Light Blue/Pink wire. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Go to step  7 .
3. Check air bag tone warning indicator circuit for open
   
   Measure resistance between harness side of RCM connector C310A, terminal No. 23 and harness side of instrument cluster connector C220B, terminal No. 7. (Light Blue/Pink wire). If resistance is less than 0.5 ohm, go to next step. See Figure & Figure . If resistance is more than 0.5 ohm, repair open in Light Blue/Pink wire. Go to step  7 .
4. Check air bag tone warning indicator
   
   Reconnect instrument cluster harness connector C220B. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and harness side of RCM connector C310A, terminal No. 23 (Light Blue/Pink wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, replace instrument cluster.
   NOTE: Ensure all air bag system simulators, sensor electrical connectors and RCM electrical connectors are connected prior to carrying out on-demand self-test, or erroneous faults may be set.
5. Confirm RCM fault
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Reconnect RCM connector C310A. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Perform on-demand self-test. If DTC B1892 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, replace RCM. Go to step  7 . If DTC B1892 was not retrieved during on-demand self-test, fault is intermittent. Attempt to recreate fault by flexing wire harness and cycling ignition frequently. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair any intermittent problems found. Go to step  7 .
6. Check for intermittent fault condition
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Perform on-demand self-test. If DTC B1892 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, check for cause of intermittent fault in Light Blue/Pink wire (circuit No. 1083). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair any intermittent faults found. If intermittent faults are found and corrected, go to next step. If intermittent faults are not found, go to step  2 . If DTC B1892 was not retrieved during on-demand self-test, attempt to recreate fault by flexing wire harness and cycling ignition switch frequently. Repair any intermittent problems found. Go to next step.
7. Check for additional DTCs
   
   Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step  1 . If any continuous DTCs were retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table for direction to appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION  table. DO NOT clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. If no continuous DTCs were retrieved, reconnect air bag system. Activate air bag system. See ACTIVATING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Clear all DTCs. See CLEARING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS.
