PINPOINT TEST M: DTC B1891 - AIR BAG TONE WARNING INDICATOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY OR IGNITION

M1 - M2:






M3 - M5:






Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors its connection to the generic electronic module (GEM) at 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 battery or ignition on the connection to the GEM, it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1891 in memory.

Possible Causes
An air bag tone warning indicator circuit short to battery or ignition can be caused by:
- a short to battery or ignition on circuit 1083 (LB/BK).
- a damaged or inoperative GEM.
- an RCM internal concern.
