Possible Causes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A right side crash sensor internal fault could be caused by damaged right side crash sensor.

  1. Check for hard or intermittent DTC

    Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See USING SCAN TOOL  under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Retrieve and record any continuous DTCs. See RETRIEVING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B2445 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, replace right side crash sensor. See SIDE AIR BAG CRASH SENSOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to next step. If DTC B2445 was not retrieved, replace right side crash sensor. Go to next step.

  2. Check for additional DTCs

    Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step  1 . If any continuous DTCs were retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table for direction to appropriate test. DO NOT clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION  table. If no DTCs were retrieved, clear all DTCs. See CLEARING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS.
