The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out and verify to the occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
The RCM monitors the PAD indicator circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted PAD indicator
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B00D5:11, B00D5:12 or B00D5:13 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
- DTC B00D5:11 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Ground) - When the RCM senses a short to ground on the PAD indicator circuit, a fault is indicated.
- DTC B00D5:12 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Battery) - When the RCM senses a short to voltage on the PAD indicator circuit, a fault is indicated.
- DTC B00D5:13 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Open) - When the RCM senses an open circuit on the PAD indicator, a fault is indicated. An incorrect RCM configuration or an open ignition circuit to the PAD indicator also sets this DTC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PAD indicator (part of center stack switch assembly)
- RCM configuration
- RCM
