PINPOINT TEST I : DTCs B00B5:11, B00B5:12, B00B5:13 AND B00B5:1D: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Diagnostic Overview
Diagnostics in this article assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Service Information for information about these practices.
Refer to Supplemental Restraint System , for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The RCM continuously monitors the driver seat position sensor and circuits for the following faults:
- Short to ground
- Short to voltage
- Open circuit
- Current out of range
- Faulted driver seat track position sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B00B5:11, B00B5:12, B00B5:13 or B00B5:1D in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|---|
| B00B5:11 | Driver Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to ground on the driver seat track position sensor circuit for more than 6 seconds. |
| B00B5:12 | Driver Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to voltage on the driver seat track position sensor circuit for more than 6 seconds. |
| B00B5:13 | Driver Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Open | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses an open on the driver seat track position sensor circuit for more than 6 seconds. An open driver seat track position sensor ground circuit also sets this fault. |
| B00B5:1D | Driver Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Current Out of Range | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses current out of an acceptable range between the driver seat track position sensor circuits for more than 6 seconds. |
