The RCM monitors the resistance between the ground connections at the mounting bracket and the reference ground at C2041a pin 16, circuit 1203 (BK/LB). If the RCM detects a difference in resistance, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1921 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 14 (or higher priority code if 1 exists) on the air bag indicator.
