Possible Causes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2021 Ford Transit-350, 2021 Ford Transit-250, and 2021 Ford Transit-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
  1. BL1: Check For Other SASM DTCs 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.

      Carry out the SASM self-test.

    • Is DTC U3003:1C present? 
    Yes No
    GO to Pinpoint Test BD.  Go to  BL2.
  2. BL2: Check For Other BCM DTCs 

    Carry out the BdyCM self-test.

    • Are any DTCs present in the BCM? 
    Yes No
    DIAGNOSE all BCM DTCs. REFER to the Multifunction Electronic Modules article. Go to  BL3.
  3. BL3: Check The SASM Ignition Voltage Circuit For An Open 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • SASM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) BCM_A Connector, Harness Side (-) SASM Connector, Harness Side
      IGN START/RUN IGN START/RUN
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) BCM H Connector, Harness Side (-) SASM Connector, Harness Side
      IGN START/RUN IGN START/RUN
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) SASM Connector, Harness Side (-) BCM-C C
      Fused B+ B+
    • Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 
    Yes No
    Go to  BL4. REPAIR the circuit.
  4. BL4: Check The SASM Ignition Voltage Circuit For A Short To Ground 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) SASM Connector, Harness Side (-)
      IGN START/RUN Ground
    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    Yes No
    Go to  BL5. REPAIR the circuit.
  5. BL5: Verify All Wiring Connections 
    • Using a good light source, inspect disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
      • corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins.
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins.
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary.
      • spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary.
    • Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals? 
    Yes No
    Go to  BL6. REPAIR the connector or terminals. REFER to the Connector Repair Procedures wiring diagrams for schematic and connector information.
  6. BL6: Check For Correct SASM Operation 
    • SASM connector connected. Make sure the connector seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    Yes No
    INSTALL a new SASM.
    CHECK OASIS for any service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA.
    If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions.
    If no services articles address this concern, INSTALL a new SASM-clockspring assembly. REFER to the Supplemental Restraint System article.    		 The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
