PINPOINT TEST A : U0100:00

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.

REFER to: Pyrotechnic Device Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation). Ignition ON. Connect the diagnostic scan tool. Check that a vehicle session can be established using the diagnostic scan tool.
