Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks the passenger side impact sensor circuits for faults. If the RCM detects a short to ground or voltage on the passenger side impact sensor circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1050 in memory and illuminate the air bag indicator.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- circuit short to voltage.
- circuit short to ground.

Possible Causes
A passenger side impact sensor short to ground/voltage fault can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulted RCM.
