Pinpoint Test N: DTC B0095:11 Or B0095:93

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: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM  is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause 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: 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.
NOTE: Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor cannot be tested using a multi-meter.
NOTE: The SRS  must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. N1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM  .

    Was DTC B0095:11, or B0095:93 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.

      For DTC B0095:11, GO to N2  .

      For DTC B0095:93, GO to  N5.
