FAULT CODE 24
Safing Impact Sensor Output Feed / Return Open Circuit
Normal Operation
The DM measures voltage level at pins 11 and 12 which varies in accordance with battery voltage. DM calculates what
the value at pins 11 and 12 should be from the value measured at pin 13, battery voltage. If voltage measured at pins 11 and 12 is not as expected by DM the MIL Lamp will illuminate and fault code 24 will be present, indicating a safing
sensor circuit fault.
