Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RCM monitors all deployable device and sensor circuits for a signal cross coupled (short) between circuits. If the RCM detects a short between the circuits of one device and another device, it stores a DTC for each of the signal cross coupled faults in memory. The RCM sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (one loop is either shorted to battery/ground, open circuit or low resistance), signal cross coupled diagnostics are not active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, the signal cross coupled diagnostics resume.
DTC DESCRIPTION
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver airbag circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the passenger airbag circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver seat side airbag circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver Safety Canopy® circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the passenger seat side airbag circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the passenger Safety Canopy® circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver safety belt sensor circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the PAD circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver safety belt retractor pretensioner circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
|
If the RCM detects a short between the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
