Pinpoint Test I: DTC B2296 - Restraint System - Impact Sensor Fault
- I1 CHECK FOR A HARD OR INTERMITTENT DTC WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.WARNING: The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.WARNING: Never probe the electrical connector on a side air curtain module. Doing so can result in side air curtain deployment.NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
