Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all of the driver air bag module circuits for faults. If the RCM detects an open or low resistance on the driver air bag module squib 2 circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2232 or B2234 in memory and illuminate the air bag indicator.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- Circuit open
- Low resistance

Possible Causes
A driver air bag module squib 2 circuit open/low resistance fault can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty clockspring.
- a faulty driver air bag module.
- a faulted RCM.
