Restraints Control Module (RCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
While the LFCs are an indication of a general concern in the passive restraints system, the DTCs are more specific. The DTCs can be retrieved from the RCM with a scan tool via the DLC.
