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.
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: 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 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 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: The SRS  must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. BR1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, perform RCM  self-test to retrieve DTCs  .

    Was DTC B0013:11, B0013:12, B0013:13 or B0013:1A retrieved on-demand during self-test? 

    1. Yes  : This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC  is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test.

      For DTC  B0013:13 or B0013:1A, GO to BR2  .

      For DTC  B0013:11, GO to  BR8.

      For DTC  B0013:12, GO to  BR10.

    2. No  : This is an intermittent fault when present as a CMDTC  only.

    • Connect RCM C310A  and C310B  .
    • Connect a fused jumper wire:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
