for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The BECMB provides battery voltage to the RCM, OCSM, and PAD Indicator. The BECMB compares HS-CAN1 messages to ignition voltage inputs. If the status of the HS-CAN1 message and the voltage input do not match, the BECMB sets a DTC.
If a fault is detected, the BECMB stores the appropriate DTC in memory and sends a message to the RCM through the GWM and, 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 Condition BECMB B1142:62 Ignition Status 1: Signal Compare Failure A fault is indicated when the status of the hard-wired ignition input to the BECMB does not match the ignition status reported on the HS-CAN1. BECMB B11D9:13 Vehicle Battery: Circuit Open A fault is indicated when the voltage on the battery input circuit to the BECMB is less than a pre-determined threshold. BECMB B13BF:14 Run/Start Input: Circuit Short To Ground Or Open A fault is indicated when the hard-wired ignition input to the BECMB is inactive, but the BECMB receives an ignition status on the HS-CAN1 that contradicts the hard-wired input status. Possible Sources
- BCM fuses 10 (10A) and 3 (10A)
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- BECMB
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.NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.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.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.NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer. - BL1 RETRIEVE BECMB (BATTERY ENERGY CONTROL MODULE B) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure, refer to Safety Warnings in General Information. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
