Normal Operation

Impact Sensors
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) communicates with the front impact severity sensor, driver side impact sensor, and passenger side impact sensor to determine if each sensor is at the correct version level for the SRS installed in each vehicle. If the RCM detects a version conflict between the RCM and any of the sensors, it will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Vehicle ID
The RCM monitors the electrical condition at C204 pins 7 and 8 to detect the vehicle identification code. The RCM compares the pin state with a preprogrammed code. If the RCM detects an unexpected condition at either of these pins, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
An incorrect vehicle ID fault can be caused by:
- Incorrect sensor for vehicle.
- Incorrect RCM for vehicle.
- Incorrect OCS system for vehicle.
- Wiring, terminals, or connectors.
