I got my new scan tool in from China, very nice, and pulled the following codes. B2295, B2691 and C1981. See the codes listed below with questions on each code after the code.

Where is restraints control module (RCM) located? Yes disconnect the battery if i play with it.

What did not turn up on searches is how you fixed them ("the rest of the story")....



B2295 23 Restraint System – Side Air Bag Status (Passenger Seat Side Air Bag Circuit Failure)

<from manual>


A side air bag module provides protection of the th
orax area (between the neck and abdomen) of the bod
y, working in conjunction with the head protection
provided by a safety canopy
module. Refer to
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental R
estraint System (SRS)
in this section.
The restraints control module (RCM) continuously mo
nitors the driver and passenger side air bag module
circuits (loop) for an acceptable resistance range
, unacceptable voltage and shorts
to ground. The RCM will set on-demand and store DTC
B2294 in memory if any of these conditions are det
ected to be outside of their respectful range. If t
he RCM detects a fault, it will
send a message to the instrument cluster module to
illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
As the RCM continuously monitors side air bag modul
e circuits for resistance, it expects a normal resi
stance between 1.31 to 4.29 ohms.
If a loop resistance is between 0.9 and 1.31 or bet
ween 4.29 and 5 ohms, there exists a strong potenti
al for an intermittent fault, a DTC may or may not
set. The RCM will also set an on-
demand DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9
ohm or greater than 5 ohms.

***question***

Thinking this could be a bad connection or wire. Where are the connectors located? Where is this airbag located?

B2691 51 Driver Safety Belt Buckle Switch Circuit Fault



***question***


I looked at the buckle end and did not see any wires, so it must be located on the reel side? Remove the B pillar trim to see it?

C1981 49 Seat Track Position Switch Circuit Fault
– – No Communication With The Restraints Control Module (RCM)




***question***

My thinking is that if the seat is to close it turns off the airbag? I did find this one in searches. Some talked about the seat back position too?? What wires? What is in the seat?


Thanks guys!!
