Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the driver seat track position sensor and circuits for the following faults:
- Short to ground
- Short to voltage
- Open circuit
- Current out of range
- Faulted driver seat track position sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B00B5:11, B00B5:12, B00B5:13 or B00B5:1D in memory and send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
DTC DESCRIPTION CHART
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
|
When the RCM senses a short to ground on the driver seat track position sensor circuit, a fault will be indicated. |
|
When the RCM senses a short to voltage on the driver seat track position sensor circuit, a fault will be indicated. |
|
When the RCM senses an open on either of the driver seat track position sensor circuits, a fault will be indicated. |
|
When the RCM senses current out of an acceptable range between the driver seat track position sensor circuits, a fault will be indicated. |
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Driver seat track position sensor
- RCM
