The RCM continuously monitors the second row left seatbelt buckle switch circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Current out of range
- Faulted second row left seatbelt buckle switch
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B140D:11, B140D:12, B140D:13 or B140D:1D in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
