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: Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor cannot be tested using a multi-meter
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
A1 RETRIEVE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this section, refer to Safety Warnings in section 100-00 General Information. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
REFER to: Pyrotechnic Device Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation). Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.
Was DTC B1417:11 or B1417:93 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
Yes | This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is also retrieved on-demand, DIAGNOSE those Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. REFER to: Pinpoint Test - DTC: AJ (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing). If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is not retrieved on-demand during self-test, DIAGNOSE the impact sensor Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). For DTC B1417:11, GO to A2 For DTC B1417:93, GO to A5 |
|---|---|
No | If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is also retrieved on-demand, REFER to: Pinpoint Test - DTC: AJ (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing). If DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 is not retrieved on-demand during self-test, DIAGNOSE the impact sensor Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs). This is an intermittent fault when present as a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) only. GO to A10 |
A2 CHECK THE RIGHT FRONTAL RESTRAINTS SENSOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) FOR A FAULT STATUS CHANGE (SHORT TO GROUND INDICATED)
NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the RCM by inducing a different fault condition. If the reported fault changes, this indicates the RCM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
Ignition OFF. Depower the SRS. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Disconnect RH Front Impact Severity Sensor C1466. Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.
Did the on-demand DTC change from B1417:11 to B1417:93?
