Pinpoint Test U: B00C2:11 And B00C2:12

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: SRS components should only be disconnected or reconnected 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, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

A1 RETRIEVE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this service information, refer to Safety Warnings in GENERAL INFORMATION . Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
  
  REFER to: SAFETY BELT AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.
Was DTC B00C2:11 or B00C2:12 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 the self-test. For DTC B00C2:11, GO to A2 For DTC B00C2:12, GO to A4
2. No : This is an intermittent fault when present as a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) only. GO to A6
A2 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS)
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.

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.
- Disconnect Passenger Safety Belt Buckle C3238 .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.
- DIAGNOSTIC TIP: When viewing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) disconnected, an open circuit fault is normally retrieved. Because the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) shares a connector with the passenger safety belt buckle switch, a passenger safety belt buckle switch circuit fault will also be present in the RCM .
Was DTC B00C2:11 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
1. Yes : GO to A3
2. No : INSTALL a new passenger safety belt buckle.
  REFER to: FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE - VEHICLES WITH: FIRST AND SECOND ROW SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) .
  
  GO to A7

A3 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) VREF CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

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.

REFER to: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement/Action	Negative Lead
C3238-2		Ground

Is any voltage present?

Yes : REPAIR the circuit.
Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES EXCEPT ELECTRIC--> for schematic and connector information.

GO to A7
No : GO to A5

A5 CONFIRM THE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) FAULT
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.

NOTE: Make sure all OCS system components, restraint system sensor electrical connectors and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be recorded.
- Ignition OFF.
- Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
  - inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
  - inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
  - repair any concerns found.
    Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES EXCEPT ELECTRIC--> for schematic and connector information.
- Connect OCSM C3159 (if previously disconnected).
- Connect Passenger Safety Belt Buckle C3238 .
- If previously directed to disconnect Passenger Seat Side Airbag (Inline) C3007B , depower the SRS .
  REFER to: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
- Connect Passenger Seat Side Airbag (Inline) C3007B (if previously disconnected).
  - Tighten to 1 Nm (9 lb-in).
- If previously directed to depower the SRS , repower the SRS . Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
  REFER to: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.
Was the original DTC retrieved on-demand during self-test?
1. Yes : CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new OCS sensor.
  REFER to: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) SENSOR - VEHICLES WITH: FIRST AND SECOND ROW SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) .
