The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the passenger safety belt buckle switch circuits for faults. If the RCM detects a current out of range fault, it will store DTC B2439 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster module to flash a LFC 52 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag warning indicator.
NOTE:
When monitoring fault and/or resistance PIDs with the scan tool, it may take up to 2 seconds for the scan tool display to update.
