Test H: DTC B2294 - Restraint System - Curtain Fault
PINPOINT TEST H: DTC B2294 - RESTRAINT SYSTEM - CURTAIN FAULTNormal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors all side air curtain module circuits for faults. The RCM will set a DTC if a short to battery or short to ground fault is detected. The RCM will also set a DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms. The normal expected resistance range is 1.23 to 3.31 ohms. If a loop resistance is between 0.9 and 1.23 or between 3.31 and 5 ohms, a DTC will not set but there exists a strong potential for an intermittent fault. If the RCM detects a fault on any of the side air curtain module circuits, it will store DTC B2294 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Side air curtain module
- RCM
