WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
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.
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.
Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE: SRS components should only be disconnected or reconnected 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 Ford Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.
  1. S1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
      NOTE: Signal cross coupled DTCs will be retrieved in pairs.
    • Were any signal cross coupled DTCs 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. GO to S2.
    • No  : This is an intermittent fault when present as a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) only. GO to  S4.
  2. S2 CHECK DEPLOYABLE CIRCUITS FOR A SIGNAL CROSS COUPLED FAULT 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Disconnect: RCM C2041A and C2041B.
    • NOTE: Most signal cross coupled faults are due to connector and/or wiring harness damage. Carry out a thorough inspection of connector(s) and/or wiring harness for damage.

      Disconnect ALL of the affected  SRS devices.

    • Measure the resistance between the circuits of the affected SRS devices using the following table:

    • Yes  : GO to S3.
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuits. Refer to appropriate "OEM Connector Repair Procedures" for information. GO to  S5.
  3. S3 CONFIRM THE RCM FAULT 
    NOTE: Make sure all restraint system components and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, DTCs will be recorded.
    • Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
      • inspect connector(s) (including any in-line connectors) for pushed out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
      • inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • inspect C2041A and C2041B Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lever/lock for correct operation. Refer to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) .
      • repair any concerns found. Refer to appropriate "OEM Connector Repair Procedures" for information.
    • Connect: All Previously Disconnected Restraint System Component(s).
    • Connect: RCM C2041A and C2041B.
    • Repower the SRS. Do not  prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
    • Were any signal cross coupled DTCs retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . GO to  S5.
    • No  : In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test  . GO to  S4.
  4. S4 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT 
    NOTE: Most cross link faults are due to connector and/or wiring harness damage. Carry out a thorough inspection of connector(s) and/or wiring harness for damage.
    • Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is now present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. GO to  S2.
    • No  : The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time.

      CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. 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. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test  . REPAIR any intermittent wiring, terminal or connector concerns found. Refer to appropriate "OEM Connector Repair Procedures" for information. GO to  S5.

  5. S5 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 will be retrieved from the RCM and Occupant Classification System Module (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.
