Normal Operation

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.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the passenger seat track position sensor and circuits for the following faults:

Short to ground
Short to voltage
Open circuit
Current out of range
Faulted passenger seat track position sensor

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B00C5:11, B00C5:12, B00C5:13 or B00C5:1D in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS

DTC Description	Fault Trigger Condition
B00C5:11 - Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground	When the RCM senses a short to ground on the passenger seat track position sensor circuit, a fault will be indicated.
B00C5:12 - Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery	When the RCM senses a short to voltage on the passenger seat track position sensor circuit, a fault will be indicated.
B00C5:13 - Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Open	When the RCM senses an open on the passenger seat track position sensor circuit, a fault will be indicated. An open passenger seat track position sensor ground circuit will set this fault.
B00C5:1D - Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Current Out of Range	When the RCM senses current out of an acceptable range between the passenger seat track position sensor circuits, a fault will be indicated.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
