Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The RCM monitors the driver front door and passenger C-pillar side impact sensor circuits for the following faults:

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B1414:11, B1414:12, B1414:13, B1414:96, B1419:11, B1419:12, B1419:13 or B1419:96 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

Possible Causes 

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks 

PINPOINT TEST A: B1414:11, B1414:12, B1414:13, B1414:96, B1419:11, B1419:12, B1419:13, B1419:96 

  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 fromn 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. NOTE: Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor cannot be tested using a multi-meter
