PINPOINT TEST Q: LFC 15/DTC C1414 - INCORRECT VEHICLE ID

Normal Operation
The restraint control module (RCM) monitors the electrical condition at C310a pins 20 and 21 to detect the vehicle identification code. The RCM compares the pin state with a preprogrammed code. If the RCM detects an unexpected condition at either of these pins, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1414 in memory and flash lamp fault code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if 1 exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
An incorrect vehicle identification code can be caused by:
- incorrect RCM for vehicle.
- wiring concern at RCM C310a pins 20 or 21.
- a faulted RCM.
