Pinpoint Test E: LFC 27/DTC B1884 - Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (Pad) Warning Lamp Circuit Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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. E1 CHECK FOR ON-DEMAND AND CONTINUOUS 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.
    NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing a supplemental restraint system (SRS), the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed 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.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: On-Demand Self Test/Retrieve and Record Continuous Memory DTCs
    • Was on-demand DTC B1884 retrieved? 
    1. 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  E2 .
    2. NO  : This is an intermittent fault when present as a continuous memory DTC only (DTC not retrieved on demand). The fault condition is not present at this time. Go to  E6 .
  2. E2 CHECK THE PAD SWITCH WARNING LAMP VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Deactivate the system. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation and Reactivation .
    • Disconnect: RCM C2041
    • Key in ON position.
      • Fig 1: Checking Circuit For Voltage

    • Measure the voltage between RCM C2041-9, circuit 1113 (YE/LG), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL and CONFIGURE a new RCM. REFER to Restraints Control Module (RCM) . Go to  E7 .
    2. NO  : Go to  E3.
  3. E3 CHECK CIRCUIT 609 (OG/YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: PAD Switch C2099
      • Fig 2: Checking Circuit For Open

    • Measure the voltage between PAD switch C2099-4, circuit 609 (OG/YE), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  E4.
    2. NO  : REPAIR circuit 609 (OG/YE). Go to  E7 .
  4. E4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1113 (YE/LG) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
      • Fig 3: Checking Circuit For Short To Ground

    • Measure the resistance between RCM C2041-9, circuit 1113 (YE/LG), harness side and ground.
    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  E5.
    2. NO  : REPAIR circuit 1113 (YE/LG). Go to  E7 .
  5. E5 CHECK CIRCUIT 1113 (YE/LG) FOR AN OPEN 
      Fig 4: Checking Circuit For Open

    • Measure the resistance between RCM C2041-9, circuit 1113 (YE/LG), harness side and PAD switch C2099-3, circuit 1113 (YE/LG), harness side.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new PAD switch. REFER to Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Switch . Go to  E7 .
    2. NO  : REPAIR circuit 1113 (YE/LG). Go to  E7 .
  6. E6 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: On-Demand Self Test/Retrieve and Record Continuous Memory DTCs
    • Was on-demand DTC B1883 retrieved? 
    1. YES  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is now 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  E2 .
    2. NO  : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault on circuit 1113 (YE/LG). ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. Go to  E7 .
  7. E7 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DTCs 
    • Refer to the continuous memory DTCs recorded during Step E1.
    • Were any continuous memory DTCs retrieved during Step E1? 
    1. YES  : Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. Go to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Priority Table for pinpoint test direction.
    2. NO  : RECONNECT the system. If previously directed to deactivate the system, REACTIVATE the system. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation and Reactivation . REPOWER the system. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering . PROVE OUT the system. CLEAR all DTCs.
