Normal Operation - Restraints Control Module (RCM)
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.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors the input voltage for correct operation. If the RCM detects input voltage below 9.5 volts, it will store DTC U3003:16 in memory. If the RCM detects input voltage of 20 volts, it will store DTC U3003:17 in memory. If the RCM sets DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17, it will send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
