Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Restraints Control Module (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 Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (one loop is either shorted to battery/ground, open circuit or low resistance), then signal cross coupled diagnostics are not active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, then the signal cross coupled diagnostics resume.
DTC DESCRIPTION
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|
|
If the RCM detects a short between the driver air bag stage 1 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 air bag stage 2 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 air bag stage 1 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 air bag stage 2 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 air bag 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 air bag 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 buckle switch 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 buckle switch 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 track position 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 driver safety belt buckle 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 buckle pretensioner circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this DTC and the DTC of the corresponding SRS component. |
