Pinpoint Test M: DTCs B00A0:09, B00A0:4A, B00A0:63, B00A0:64 and B00A0:68
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) is in constant communication with various control modules on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), one of them is the Occupant
Classification System Module (OCSM). The
of the OCSM. If the
RCM
receives fault message(s) from the
the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

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.
NOTICE: 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
number listed in the Ford Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect
NOTE: The
SRS
must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
