Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors all front air bag module circuits for faults. The RCM will set a DTC if a short to battery or short to ground fault is detected. The RCM will also set a DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5.0 ohms. If the RCM detects a fault on any of the front air bag circuits, it will store DTC B2293 in memory and depending on the fault, flash a LFC on the air bag warning indicator.
