The seat track position sensor informs the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position. Refer to AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) .
The RCM monitors the driver seat track position sensor circuits. If the RCM detects an open circuit fault, it will store DTC C1946 in memory, flash a LFC on the air bag indicator and the secondary air bag warning chime will be activated.
