Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RCM supplies the stability/traction control system with the yaw rate, roll rate, lateral and longitudinal accelerometer over a dedicated CAN. If the RCM detects a fault with communications with the ABS module or dedicated CAN circuits, it sets DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88.
The RCM does not request the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator if either DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88 is set.
