LFC 15 / DTC B1916 (Steps 4 - 6):

Normal Operation
The air bag diagnostic monitor checks for driver-side air bag circuit shorts to battery or ignition by monitoring the voltage of pin 3 (GY/O) wire and pin 4 (GY/W) wire. If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a short to battery or ignition on either of these pins, it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1916 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 15 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A driver-side air bag circuit short to battery or ignition could be caused by:
- A short to battery or ignition on (GY/O) wire.
A short to battery or ignition on (GY/W) wire.
- A short to battery or ignition on the air bag sliding contact.
- A short to battery or ignition on the driver-side air bag module.
- Air bag diagnostic monitor internal concern.
