B2293 FORD Description

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors all front air bag module circuits (loop) for an acceptable resistance range, unacceptable voltage and shorts to ground. The RCM will set on-demand and store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B2293 in memory if any of these conditions are detected to be outside of their respectful range. If the RCM detects a fault on any of the front air bag circuits, it will store DTC B2293 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. As the RCM continuously monitors all front air bag module circuits for resistance, it expects a normal resistance for the driver and passenger air bag modules loop 1 and 2, between 1.31 to 4.29 ohms. If a loop resistance for the driver and/or passenger air bag loop 1 and/or 2 is between 0.9 and 1.31 or between 4.29 and 5 ohms, there exists a strong potential 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.
