Pinpoint Test J: LFC 34/DTC B1934 —
Driver Air Bag Circuit Resistance Low
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance of the driver air bag ignitor by measuring
the resistance between pins 3 and 4. If the RCM detects low resistance between these pins, it will
store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1934 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 34 (or
higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
Driver air bag low resistance can be caused by:
za short in the clockspring windings.
z a short in the wiring harness.
z a low resistance in the driver air bag module.
z an RCM internal concern.
z worn or damaged short bar or camming beam.

Pinpoint Test L: B1892 —
Air Bag Tone Warning Indicator Circuit Shorted to Ground or Open
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors its connection to the generic electronic module (GEM) at
C201e pin 10. This connection is used to signal a chime if the air bag indicator is inoperative and
another SRS fault exists. If the RCM detects a short to ground or open on the connection to the GEM,
it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1892 in memory.
Possible Causes
An air bag tone warning indicator circuit short to ground or open can be caused by:
za short to ground or open on circuit 1083 (LB/BK).
