Pinpoint Test B: DTC B1884 - Pad Warning Lamp Circuit Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. The RCM 40-pin connector is keyed differently for vehicles with side air curtains and side air bags than the 40-pin connector for vehicles without side air curtains and side air bags. Do not force the 40-pin connector onto the RCM. If the connector is forced onto the RCM, damage to the RCM and/or connector will occur.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
  1. B1 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS OR ON-DEMAND DTCs 
    WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
    WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can 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 and could result in personal injury.
    WARNING: Never probe the electrical connector on a side air curtain module. Doing so can result in side air curtain deployment.
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test/Retrieve and Record Continuous Memory DTCs.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes  : REPAIR circuit CR116 (GN/WH). GO to  B9.

    No  : GO to  B7.

  4. B4 CHECK CIRCUIT CR116 (GN/WH) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Depower the system. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Disconnect: RCM C310a and C310b.
    • Disconnect: PAD Indicator C2355.
    • Measure the resistance between PAD indicator C2355-2, circuit CR116 (GN/WH), harness side and RCM C310a-22, circuit CR116 (GN/WH), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 0.5 ohm? 

    Yes  : GO to B5.

    No  : REPAIR circuit CR116 (GN/WH). GO to  B9.

  5. B5 CHECK CIRCUIT CBP24 (VT/GN) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Repower the system. Do not  prove out the system at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between PAD indicator C2355-3, circuit CBP24 (VT/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to B6.

    No  : VERIFY smart junction box (SJB) fuse 24 is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit CBP24 (VT/GN). GO to  B9.

  6. B6 CHECK THE PAD INDICATOR LAMP 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Deactivate the system. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION .
    • Connect: PAD Indicator C2355.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Connect a fused jumper wire between RCM C310a-22, circuit CR116 (GN/WH), harness side and ground.
