Airbag Signal Signal Plausibility Failure

DCM (telematics transceiver) detects an error in signals from airbag sensor assembly when engine switch is on (IG).
  • Airbag system
  • Harness or connector
  • Airbag sensor assembly
  • DCM (telematics transceiver)

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the Precaution in the SRS.
