Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The RCM continuously monitors the PAD switch circuits for the following faults:

If a fault is detected on the PAD switch disable (OFF) or enable (ON) circuit(s), the RCM stores DTC B00DF:11, B00DF:12 or B00DF:13 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B00DF:11 Passenger Restraints Disable Switch: Circuit Short to Ground A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to ground on the PAD switch disable (OFF) or enable (ON) circuit for more than 6 seconds. This fault also sets if the PAD switch disable (OFF) circuit is shorted to the PAD switch enable (ON) circuit.
B00DF:12 Passenger Restraints Disable Switch: Circuit Short to Battery A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to voltage on the PAD switch disable (OFF) or enable (ON) circuit(s) for more than 6 seconds.
B00DF:13 Passenger Restraints Disable Switch: Circuit Open A fault is indicated when the RCM senses an open on either the PAD switch disable (OFF), enable (ON) or return circuit(s) for more than 6 seconds.

  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: 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.
  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.

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

    • Ignition ON.

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

    Was DTC B00DF:11, B00DF:12 or B00DF:13 retrieved on-demand during self-test? 

    Yes  This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is also retrieved on-demand, REFER to: Pinpoint Test - DTC: AG . If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is not retrieved on-demand during self-test, DIAGNOSE the PAD switch Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). For DTC B00DF:11, GO to  A2. For DTC B00DF:12, GO to  A5.
