Pinpoint Test Ah: DTC U200D:12

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, Safety Canopy® or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components should only be disconnected or reconnected when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.
NOTE: Do not install any new OCS system components until directed to do so. OCS system components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part number listed in the Ford Catalog Advantage™ to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. AH1 RETRIEVE OCSM DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - OCSM.
    • Was DTC U200D:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. GO to AH2  .
    • No  : This is an intermittent fault when present as a CMDTC only. GO to  AH5.
  2. AH2 CHECK THE SEAT WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    • Ignition OFF.
      WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
    • Carry out a thorough inspection of the OCS system wiring, terminals and connectors, jumper harness, weight sensor bolt connector and connection, wiring harness routing and the related seat wiring harness and body wiring harness terminals and connectors.
    • Were any problems noted? 
  3. AH3 CHECK THE WEIGHT SENSOR VREF CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Disconnect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C314.
    • Disconnect: OCSM C3159.
    • Repower the SRS. Do not  prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between OCSM C3159 and a good ground using the chart below:

    • Is voltage present on any circuit? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR the affected circuits. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for schematic and connector information. GO to  AH6.
    • No  : GO to AH4  .
  4. AH4 CONFIRM THE OCSM FAULT 
    NOTE: Make sure all restraint system sensor electrical connectors and the RCM electrical connector are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, DTCs will be recorded.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
      • inspect connector(s) (including any in-line connectors) for pushed out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
      • inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • repair any concerns found. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for schematic and connector information.
    • Connect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C314.
    • Connect: OCSM C3159.
    • Repower the SRS. Do not  prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - OCSM.
    • Was DTC U200D:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new OCSM. REFER to OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE (OCSM)  in this service information. GO to  AH6.
    • No  : In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test  . GO to  AH6.
  5. AH5 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT 
    • Ignition OFF.
      WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
    • Disconnect the OCS Weight Sensor Bolts C3324, C3325, C3330 and C3331:
      • inspect connector(s) (including any in-line connectors) for corrosion, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
      • inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • repair any concerns found. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for schematic and connector information.
    • Connect: All Previously Disconnected Component(s)/Connector(s).
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - OCSM.
    • Was DTC U200D:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test. GO to  AH2.
    • No  : The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test  . GO to AH6  .
  6. AH6 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS DTCs 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Reconnect all SRS components (if previously disconnected).
    • Repower the SRS. Do not  prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this service information.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - Restraints.
      NOTE: When selecting Restraints from the Self Test menu, DTCs will be retrieved from the RCM and OCSM.
    • Are any RCM and/or OCSM retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. GO to the DTC TABLES  in this service information for pinpoint test direction.
    • No  : CLEAR all RCM and OCSM CMDTCs. PROVE OUT the SRS. Repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
