The air bag warning indicator receives voltage through the instrument cluster when the ignition switch is in the START/RUN position. The instrument cluster illuminates the air bag warning indicator when it receives an open (no ground) from the restraints control module (RCM) on control circuit 608 (BK/YE). The instrument cluster turns off the air bag warning indicator if it receives a ground signal from the RCM on control circuit 608 (BK/YE).
DTC B1869 - sets if the RCM detects an open or short to ground on circuit 608 (BK/YE).
DTC B1870 - sets if the RCM detects a short to voltage on circuit 608 (BK/YE).
Possible Causes
- Circuit 608 (BK/YE) open, short to ground or voltage
- RCM
- Instrument cluster
