Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out and verify to the occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
The RCM continuously 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 B00D5:12 or B00D5:14 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
