PINPOINT TEST AJ: DTCs B00C2:12, B00C2:13 AND B00C2:1A

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. 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.
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: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION  before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
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: Install new OCS  components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test.
NOTE: The OCS  weight sensor bolt(s) are 3 wire sensors and cannot be tested using a multi-meter.
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™ 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.
  1. AJ1 RETRIEVE OCSM DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - OCSM  .

    Was DTC B00C2:12, B00C2:13 or B00C2:1A 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 AJ2  .
    • No  : This is an intermittent fault when present as a CMDTC  only. GO to  AJ12.
  2. AJ2 CHECK THE SEAT WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    • 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.
    • Carry out a thorough inspection of the OCS  wiring, terminals and connectors, weight sensor bolt connector and connection, wiring harness routing and the related seat wiring harness and body wiring harness terminals and connectors.

    Were any problems noted? 

  3. AJ3 CHECK THE OCS WEIGHT SENSOR BOLT "C" SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 

    Is any voltage present? 

  4. AJ4 CHECK THE OCS WEIGHT SENSOR BOLT "C" RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • 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.

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

  5. AJ5 CHECK THE OCS WEIGHT SENSOR BOLT "C" FOR A FAULT STATUS CHANGE (OPEN INDICATED) 
    NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the OCSM  by inducing a different fault condition. If the fault reported changes, this indicates the OCSM  is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Depower the SRS  . Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  .
    • Disconnect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag Module C337  .

    • 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 - OCSM  .
    • DIAGNOSTIC TIP:  When viewing DTCs with the OCS  weight sensor bolt "C" circuits shorted together, a low resistance circuit fault is normally retrieved.

    Did the on-demand DTC change from B00C2:13 to B00C2:1A? 

    • Yes  : REMOVE the fused jumper wire and INSTALL a new seat track assembly with OCS  weight sensor bolts. REFER to SEAT SYSTEM - SEATS . GO to  AJ13.

  8. AJ8 CHECK THE OCS WEIGHT SENSOR BOLT "C" FOR A FAULT STATUS CHANGE (RESISTANCE BELOW THRESHOLD INDICATED) 
    NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the OCSM  by inducing a different fault condition. If the fault reported changes, this indicates the OCSM  is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
    • 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.
    • Disconnect: OCS  Weight Sensor Bolt "C" C3330  .
    • Ignition ON.
