Pinpoint Test AJ - DTC: B00A0:11, B00A0:12, B1123:11, B1123:12

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Supplemental Restrain System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The BECMB provides battery voltage to the RCM and, if equipped, PAD indicator (vehicles without center stack display only). The BECMB monitors each circuit for a short to voltage or a short to ground.

If a fault is detected, the BECMB stores the appropriate DTC in memory and sends a message to the RCM over HS-CAN1 and HS-CAN2, indicating that a BECMB fault is present. Upon receipt of this message, the RCM sets DTC U0413:92 and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B00A0:11 Occupant Classification System: Circuit Short to Ground A fault is indicated when the BECMB senses a short to ground on the PAD indicator voltage supply circuit.
B00A0:12 Occupant Classification System: Circuit Short to Battery A fault is indicated when the BECMB senses a short to voltage on the PAD indicator voltage supply circuit.
B1123:11 Restraints Ignition Relay: Circuit Short to Ground A fault is indicated when the BECMB senses a short to ground on the RCM voltage supply circuit.
B1123:12 Restraints Ignition Relay: Circuit Short to Battery A fault is indicated when the BECMB senses a short to voltage on the RCM voltage supply circuit.

  1. 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: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
  3. NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
