RCF - Rapid Continuous Flashing of Air Bag Lamp
Electrical Schematic:
Normal Operation
Each crash sensor has two (2) wires. One wire is used for air bag deployment and monitoring the sensor's connection to the diagnostic monitor (See code 41 diagnosis for details). The other wire is used for monitoring the mounting (ground) of the sensor to sheet metal (see codes 44, 45, and 46 diagnosis for details). If the code 41 diagnosis reveals that ALL THREE primary sensors are not connected, AND if the code 44, 45 and 46 diagnosis reveals that ALL THREE primary sensors are not properly grounded, then the diagnostic monitor will flash the air bag lamp continuously at a fast rate.
Possible Causes
Rapid continuous flashing of the air bag lamp can be caused by the following:
1. All crash sensors disconnected from the wiring harness.
