Possible Causes

An incorrect vehicle identification code could be caused by:

an RCM installed on the wrong vehicle
an incorrectly programmed RCM
vehicle identification pins not connected correctly
WARNING:
- If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is being serviced, the system must be deactivated and restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed. See AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) . Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
- The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is reactivated to avoid non-deployment in a collision. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
NOTE:
- After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, remove the restraint system diagnostic tools before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE:
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE:
- Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

PINPOINT TEST 25 CHART - DTC C1414 / LFC 29 - INCORRECT MODULE DESIGN LEVEL

PINPOINT TEST 25		DTC C1414 / LFC 29 - INCORRECT MODULE DESIGN LEVEL
STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	CHECK FOR A HARD OR INTERMITTENT DTC Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Retrieve/Record Continuous DTCs. Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: On-Demand Self-Test. Was OTC C1414 retrieved during the on-demand self-test?	Yes	This is a hard fault. The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self-test. Go to next step.
1		No	This is an intermittent fault. The fault condition is not present at this time. Go to step 4.
2	CHECK VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION PINS #1 AND #3 Key OFF. Depower the supplemental restraint system (SRS). See DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING . Disconnect: RCM 0810-101. Make sure the RCM 0810-101 pin 10 and pin 14 connector cavities are empty and no connection is made when connected to the RCM. Are the RCM 0810-101 pin 10 and pin 14 connector cavities empty?	Yes	Go to next step.
2		No	Repair any concern found at the RCM 0810-101 pin 10 and pin 14 connector cavities. Go to step 5.
3	CHECK VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION PIN #2 NOTE: For this vehicle application, RCM 0810-101 pin 13, (O/Y) should be connected to ignition voltage. Deactivate the supplemental restraint system (SRS). See SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION . Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between RCM 0810-101 pin 13, (O/Y), harness side and ground; and between RCM 0810-101 pin 2, (O/Y), harness side and ground. Are the voltages greater than 9 volts?	Yes	Install a new RCM. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . Go to step 5.
3		No	Repair circuit (O/Y). Go to step 5.
4	CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT Key in OFF position. Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Retrieve/Record Continuous DTCs. Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: On-Demand Self Test. Was DTC C1414 retrieved during the on-demand self-test?	Yes	Go to step 2.
4		No	Check for causes of the intermittent fault. Attempt to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. Activate other systems in the same wire harness. Repair any intermittent concerns found. Go to next step.
5	CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DTCs See the continuous DTCs recorded during Step 1. Were any continuous DTCs retrieved during Step 1?	Yes	Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. See DIAGNOTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX - RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) .
5		No	Reconnect the system. If previously directed to deactivate the system, reactivate the system. See SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION . Repower the supplemental restraint system (SRS). See DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING . Prove out the system. Clear all DTCs.
