WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. WARNING: WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) deployment. Never compromise or depart from these instructions. Failure to precisely follow all instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental deployment.
  2. NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 parts catalog to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.
  5. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

  6. A1 RETRIEVE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out RCM self-test.

    Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C0064:68 or C0065:68 the only Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved? 

    Yes  CLEAR the RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). GO to  A2
    No  DIAGNOSE all other RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles Without: Rear Seat Side Airbag .

  7. A2 CHECK FOR A RETURNING FAULT

    • Test drive the vehicle. Choose a route with LH and RH turns. Avoid rough roads and do not  drive the vehicle aggressively.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out RCM self-test.

    Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C0064:68 or C0065:68 the only RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved? 

    Yes  GO to  A3
    No  If no RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) were retrieved, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may have been triggered by aggressive driving or rough road conditions. INFORM the customer that aggressive driving conditions or rough road conditions can set these Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). RETURN the vehicle to the customer. If any other RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) were retrieved, REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles With: Rear Seat Side Airbag .

  8. A3 CHECK THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) INSTALLATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Inspect the RCM mounting surface for damage, corrosion, or foreign materials.

    Is the RCM mounted correctly and is the mounting surface clean and free from damage? 

    Yes  GO to  A4
    No  REPAIR the mounting or INSTALL new hardware, as necessary. GO to  A6

  9. A4 CONFIRM THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) FAULT

    NOTE: Make sure all SRS components and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be recorded.

    • Disconnect: RCM C310A and C310B.

    • 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 damaged, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • inspect RCM C310A and C310B Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lever/lock for correct operation.
      • repair any concerns found. Refer to GROUNDS for schematic and connector information.

    • Connect: RCM C310A and C310B.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out RCM self-test.

    Was the original DTC retrieved on-demand during self-test? 

    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 RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM) . GO to  A6
    No  In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to  A5

  10. A5 CHECK THE HARNESS AND CONNECTORS

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect: RCM C310A and C310B.

    • Inspect RCM C310A and C310B Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lever/lock for correct operation.

    • Inspect RCM C310A and C310B for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.

    • Inspect wire harnesses for any damaged, pinched, cut or pierced wires.

    Were any concerns found? 

    Yes  REPAIR as necessary. Refer to GROUNDS for schematic and connector information. GO to  A6
    No  The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to  A6

  11. A6 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Reconnect all SRS components (if previously disconnected).

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the RCM self-test to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    Are any RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved on-demand during self-test? 

    Yes  Do not clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) until all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been resolved. REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles With: Rear Seat Side Airbag .
    No  CLEAR all RCM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs). PROVE OUT the SRS. The repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
