WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Never disassemble or tamper with safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors or probe the electrical connectors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, Safety Canopy® or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

NOTE: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components should only be disconnected or reconnected 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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS  component is installed, DTCs may set.
NOTE: The SRS  must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

      Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information.

      ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition frequently. Do not install any new SRS  components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test.  GO to  S5.

  2. S2 CHECK OCS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
    • Verify the correct OCSM  has been installed in the vehicle. Check the part number listed in the Ford Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent to make sure the correct component is present.
    • Is the correct OCSM installed? 
  3. S3 CHECK RCM 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Verify the correct RCM  has been installed.
    • Is the correct RCM installed? 
  4. S4 CHECK RCM 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Carry out Programmable Module Installation (PMI) for the RCM  . Manually enter as-built data. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM  .
    • Was DTC B00A0:4A retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
  5. S5 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS DTCs 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
    • Reconnect all SRS  components (if previously disconnected).
    • If previously directed to depower the SRS  , repower the SRS  . Do not  prove out the SRS  at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - Restraints.
      NOTE: When selecting Restraints from the Self Test menu, DTCs will be retrieved from the RCM  and OCSM  .
    • Are any RCM  and/or OCSM retrieved on-demand during self-test? 
    • Yes  : Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. GO to the DTC CHARTS  for pinpoint test direction.
    • No  : CLEAR all RCM  and OCSM  DTCs. PROVE OUT the SRS  . Repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
