WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Refer to Wiring Diagrams SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: Airbag and Seatbelt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - System Operation and Component Description .

    The RCM monitors the driver front door side impact sensor for the following faults:

    • Open circuit
    • Short to voltage
    • Short to ground
    • Faulted driver front door side impact sensor

    If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B1414:11, B1414:12 or B1414:13 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    RCM B1414:11 Driver Side Restraints Sensor 1: Circuit Short To Ground A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a shorted driver front door side impact sensor, a short to ground on the driver front door side impact sensor feed circuit.
    RCM B1414:12 Driver Side Restraints Sensor 1: Circuit Short To Battery A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to voltage on the driver front door side impact sensor feed or return circuits.
    RCM B1414:13 Driver Side Restraints Sensor 1: Circuit Open A fault is indicated when the RCM senses an open driver front door side impact sensor circuit.

    Possible Sources 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Driver front door side impact sensor
    • RCM

    Visual Inspection and Pre-checks 

    • Inspect for damaged wiring harness(es).

  2. 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.
  3. NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
  4. NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  8. NOTE: Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor cannot be tested using a multi-meter.
