Pinpoint Test C: The Power Seat Is Inoperative - Passenger

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. C1 CHECK CIRCUIT SBB31 (WH/RD) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in the General Procedures portion of SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM article.
    • Disconnect the passenger seat side air bag C313.
    • Disconnect: Passenger Seat Control Switch C3190
    • WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  C2.
    2. NO  : VERIFY battery junction box (BJB) fuse 31 (30A) is OK. If BJB fuse 31 (30A) is OK, REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
