PINPOINT TEST BM : B1414:11, B1414:93, B1419:11 and B1419:93: Notes

Diagnostic Overview 

B1414:11, B1414:93, B1419:11 and B1419:93 

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

The RCM monitors the driver front door and passenger second row (C-pillar) side impact sensors and circuits for the following faults:

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B1414:11, B1414:93, B1419:11 or B1419:93 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

The RCM communicates with each impact sensor. If the RCM is unable to communicate with the sensor, a DTC is stored in memory. A CMDTC no operation  (failure type: 93) can be set by a short to voltage on the return circuit of the impact sensor.

NOTE: A short to ground on either impact sensor feed circuit sets DTCs B1414:11 and B1419:11. A short to voltage on either impact sensor feed circuit sets DTCs B1414:93 and B1419:93.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1414:11 Driver Side Restraints Sensor 1: Circuit Short to Ground A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a shorted driver front door side impact sensor, a shorted passenger C-pillar side impact sensor, a short to ground on the driver front door side impact sensor feed circuit or a short to ground on the passenger C-pillar side impact sensor feed circuit.
B1414:93 Driver Side Restraints Sensor 1: No Operation A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted driver front door side impact sensor, a short to voltage on the feed or return circuit of the driver front door side impact sensor, a short to voltage on the feed or return circuit of passenger C-pillar side impact sensor or an open feed or return circuit of the driver front door side impact sensor.
B1419:11 Passenger Side Restraints Sensor 2: Circuit Short to Ground A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a shorted driver front door side impact sensor, a shorted passenger C-pillar side impact sensor, a short to ground on the driver front door side impact sensor feed circuit or a short to ground on the passenger C-pillar side impact sensor feed circuit.
B1419:93 Passenger Side Restraints Sensor 2: No Operation A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted passenger C-pillar side impact sensor, a short to voltage on the feed or return circuit of passenger C-pillar side impact sensor, a short to voltage on the feed or return circuit of the driver front door side impact sensor or an open feed or return circuit of the passenger C-pillar side impact sensor.
