Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the circuit to the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner. When the RCM detects a circuit short to ground it will set Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 18 and Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) B1883.

Possible Causes
A short to ground on the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner circuit can be caused by:
^ a short to ground on circuit 30S-JA34 (RD/BK)
^ a short to ground on circuit 31S-JA34 (BK/RD).
^ a short to ground on the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner.
^ RCM is faulted.
