Test O: LFC 49/DTC B2445 - Passenger Side Impact Internal Fault

O1:

O1 - O2:

Normal Operation
The passenger seat side impact sensor monitors the severity of a impact event. If the impact event is severe enough, the sensor will signal the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to deploy the passenger seat side air bag.

The RCM monitors the two-wire current loop to the passenger seat side impact sensor for a signal that is out of the expected range. If the RCM detects an out-of-range signal from the passenger seat side impact sensor, indicating an internal fault, it will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B2445 and flash a Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 49 (or a higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A passenger seat side impact sensor internal fault condition can be caused by:
^ damaged passenger seat side impact sensor.
