Diagnostic Overview

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
On vehicles equipped with inflatable seatbelts, the RCM monitors the second row left seatbelt buckle switch and 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 B140C:11, B140C:12, B140C:13 or B140C:1D in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
