Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2019 Ford Expedition, 2018 Lincoln MKZ, 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, and 2018 Ford Transit-250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On vehicles equipped with a gas engine, the RCM transmits an event notification signal which communicates fuel cut-off status and SRS deployment status to the PCM. This allows the PCM to initiate fuel cut-off in the event of a crash.
The RCM monitors the event notification signal circuit for the following faults:
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Open circuit
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B11D8:12 or B11D8:14 in memory. The airbag warning indicator does not illuminate if B11D8:12 or B11D8:14 is set.
