PINPOINT TEST R: DTCs B00A0:09, B00A0:4A, B00A0:63, B00A0:64 AND B00A0:68
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never disassemble or tamper with seat belt deployable components, including pretensioners, load limiters and inflators. Never back probe deployable device electrical connectors. Tampering or back probing may cause an accidental deployment and result in personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE:
Only disconnect or reconnect Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.
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 parts catalog 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.
- R1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
- Was DTC B00A0:09, B00A0:4A, B00A0:63, B00A0:64 or B00A0:68 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
- Yes
: This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. For DTC B00A0:09, B00A0:63 or B00A0:68, RETRIEVE DTCs from the OCSM and REFER to the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) DTC Chart for diagnostic direction.
For DTC B00A0:4A or B00A0:64, GO to R2.
- No : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition frequently. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test . GO to R5.
- R2 VERIFY THE OCSM PART NUMBER
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Log Viewer.
- Retrieve and record the OCSM part number from Log Viewer.
- Check the part number recorded against the part number listed in the parts catalog.
- Is the correct OCSM installed in the vehicle?
- Yes : GO to R3.
- No : INSTALL the correct OCSM. REFER to OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE (OCSM) . GO to R5.
- R3 VERIFY THE RCM PART NUMBER
- Retrieve and record the RCM part number from Log Viewer.
- Check the part number recorded against the part number listed in the parts catalog.
- Is the correct RCM installed in the vehicle?
- Yes : GO to R4.
- No : INSTALL the correct RCM. REFER to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . GO to R5.
- R4 CHECK THE RCM
- Ignition ON.
- Carry out Programmable Module Installation (PMI) for the RCM. Manually enter As-Built data. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION SYSTEM .
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
- Was DTC B00A0:4A retrieved on-demand during self-test?
- Yes : INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . GO to R5.
- No : Fault corrected. GO to R5.
- R5 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS DTCs
- 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.
- Reconnect all SRS components (if previously disconnected).
- If previously directed to depower the SRS, repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - Restraints.NOTE: When selecting Restraints from the Self Test menu, DTCs are retrieved from the RCM and OCSM.
- Are any RCM and/or OCSM DTCs retrieved on-demand during self-test?
- Yes : Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. GO to the DTC CHARTS for pinpoint test direction.
- No : CLEAR all RCM and OCSM CMDTCs. PROVE OUT the SRS. The repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
- Ignition OFF.
