DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Airbag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

SPECIAL TOOLS DESCRIPTION

Flex Probe Kit

NUD105-R025D or equivalent

Fluke 77-IV Digital Multimeter

FLU77-4 or equivalent

Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate
hardware, or equivalent scan tool

Principles of Operation
The RCM continuously receives/monitors all inputs from the following SRS components:
Front impact severity sensor
Driver and passenger front door side impact sensors (if equipped)
Driver and passenger C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped)
Safety belt buckle switch (driver side only)
Safing and roll-over sensors internal to the RCM (if equipped)

If the RCM detects sudden vehicle deceleration and/or lateral deceleration based on information received from sensors and switches and
determines that deployment is required, the RCM sends voltage and current to deploy the appropriate SRS components.
The RCM contains an internal sensor that detects vehicle roll-over angles. If the RCM determines that a roll-over condition exists and
deployment is required, the RCM deploys the applicable SRS components.
During a frontal or side crash, the RCM may deploy the following SRS components, based on crash severity and sensor input.
Driver and passenger safety belt retractor pretensioners
Driver and passenger single-stage airbags (if equipped)
Safety Canopy® (if equipped)
Driver and passenger seat side airbags (if equipped)

The fact that the safety belt retractor pretensioner or airbags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that
something is wrong with the SRS system.
The RCM performs a self-test of the complete SRS during each startup. If an SRS fault exists, the airbag warning indicator illuminates and
remains illuminated for the rest of the ignition cycle. In addition to the self-test at start up, the RCM continuously monitors all of its SRS
components and circuitry for correct operation.
Air Bag Warning Indicator
The airbag warning indicator:
located in the IPC , proves out by lighting for 6 seconds and then turns off.
flashes and/or illuminates based on the message the IPC receives from the RCM .
illuminates if the IPC module does not receive a message from the RCM .

Clockspring
The clockspring allows for continuous electrical connections between the driver airbag and the RCM when the steering wheel is turned.
Driver Airbag
The driver airbag is a single-stage airbag, deploying upon receipt of a flow of current from the RCM .
Event Notification Signal (Gas vehicles only)
The purpose of the deployment event notification feature is to provide other vehicle subsystems with information pertaining to restraint
system deployment or fuel cutoff status. Signal communication between the RCM and fuel pump control module allows the PCM to initiate
fuel cut-off to disable the fuel system in the event of a crash.
HS-CAN
This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a HS-CAN . The RCM communicates with various modules for required information
about the vehicle. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for information about the HS-CAN .
Impact Sensors
For this vehicle, the SRS uses as many as 5 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM , depending upon cab configuration. The RCM is
mounted to the center tunnel beneath the floor console or 20 percent seat, depending on seating configuration. All vehicles have 1 front
impact severity sensor located in the front of the vehicle. The first row impact sensors (if equipped) are pressure sensors mounted to each
front door behind the trim panel. The second row sensors (if equipped, SuperCab and Crew Cab vehicles only) are acceleration-based
sensors located on each C-pillar. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
Vehicles that are not equipped with seat side airbags and the Safety Canopy® do not have any side-impact sensors in the front door or C-
pillar.
PAD Switch and Indicator (Regular cab and SuperCab vehicles only)
The PAD switch allows the passenger airbag deployment circuit to be disabled using the ignition key. The RCM then controls the state of
the PAD indicator based on information provided by the PAD switch. The PAD indicator illuminates to indicate the passenger airbag is
disabled, and is off when the passenger airbag is enabled.
When the ignition is first turned ON, the RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify correct
functional operation of the PAD indicator.
For vehicles without a 4.2" LCDIPC display, the PAD indicator is located in the instrument panel as part of the hazard/traction control
switch and is controlled through a direct, hard-wired connection.
For vehicles with a 4.2" LCDIPC display, the PAD indicator is located in the instrument panel as part of the FCIM . The RCM controls the
state of the PAD indicator via the HS-CAN and I-CAN .
Passenger Airbag
The passenger airbag is a single-stage airbag, deploying upon receipt of a flow of current from the RCM .
RCM

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the
RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment
of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting
areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and
sensors must be installed whether or not the airbags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury or death in a crash.

The RCM carries out the following functions:

Deploys the airbag(s)/Safety Canopy® in the event of a deployable collision
Activates the retractor pretensioners to control the tension of the safety belts in the event of a crash
Monitors the SRS for faults
Sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator if a fault is detected

The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected, the RCM requests the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
When the ignition is turned OFF and then ON, the IPC proves out the airbag warning indicator by lighting for 6 seconds. If no faults are
detected by the RCM , the IPC turns the airbag warning indicator off and it remains off. If the RCM detects a fault, it sends a message to
the IPC to turn the airbag warning indicator on and it remains on for the rest of the ignition cycle. If the RCM requests illumination of the
airbag warning indicator and the airbag warning indicator does not function, the IPC automatically activates an audible chime.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the airbags in the event the ignition
circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply depletes its stored energy approximately one minute after power and/or
ground has been removed from the RCM .
If a new RCM is installed on vehicles equipped with RSC® or trailer sway control, the IVD initialization sequence must be carried out using
the scan tool. Failure to carry out the IVD initialization sequence will result in DTCs being set in the ABS module.
Due to different SRS configurations available for this vehicle, wiring for certain components may be present even though the component is
not present. SRS wiring, whether connected to a component or not, should not be used for any other purpose, such as installation of
aftermarket accessories. Installing accessories on unused SRS wiring may set RCM DTCs.
Driver Safety Belt Buckle Switch
The driver safety belt buckle switch indicates to the RCM whether the safety belts are buckled or unbuckled.
The RCM also communicates the driver safety belt buckle switch status to the IPC , which monitors the information to control the safety
belt warning indicator. For information on the safety belt warning indicator, Refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND
WARNING CHIMES .
Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner
The safety belt retractor pretensioner removes excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioner is activated by the RCM when
the module detects a crash event force exceeding a programmed limit.
Safety Canopy® (if equipped)

WARNING: Anytime the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module has deployed, a new headliner and new A-, B- and C-pillar upper
trim panels and attaching hardware must be installed. Remove any other damaged components and hardware and install
new components and hardware as needed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the Safety Canopy® or side
air curtain module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

The Safety Canopy®:

deploys upon receiving a flow of current from the RCM , initiated by the RCM .
is mounted above the headliner.
attaches from the A-pillar frame to the B- or C-pillar frame, depending upon cab configuration.

Seat Side Airbag (if equipped)

The side airbag:
deploys upon receiving a flow of current from the RCM , initiated by the RCM .
is mounted in the seat backrest.
is used in conjunction with a Safety Canopy®.

Secondary Air Bag Warning (Chime)

The secondary airbag warning chime is an audible chime located in and controlled by the IPC . If a fault is detected with the airbag warning
indicator, a DTC is stored in memory of the IPC . Upon receiving the message from the RCM that a SRS fault has been detected, the IPC
sounds the secondary airbag warning chime in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by checking the airbag warning indicator in the IPC .
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. Do not disconnect electrical connectors until directed to do so
within the pinpoint test.

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: Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low battery voltage
occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures such as module reprogramming often set network DTCs. Replacing a
module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all
network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle battery, Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .

NOTE: This module utilizes a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure type code. The failure type code provides
information about specific fault conditions such as opens or shorts to ground. CMDTCs have an additional 2-character
DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.

Pinpoint Test A: The Air Bag Warning Indicator is Illuminated Continuously
Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the IPC will illuminate the airbag indicator continuously for 6 seconds. If the SRS is fault free, the airbag warning
indicator will turn off and remain off. If a fault is detected in the SRS , the airbag warning indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated for
the rest of the ignition cycle until the fault is no longer detected. The RCM communicates to the IPC via the HS-CAN . The IPC will
illuminate the airbag warning indicator based on messaging from the RCM or if there is no communication between the RCM and IPC .
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
IPC
RCM

PINPOINT TEST A: THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the
RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment
of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified
torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or
death in a crash.

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: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

A1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs

Ignition ON.
Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM .

Were any DTCs retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes : GO to the DTC CHARTS in this article for diagnostic direction.
Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved.
No : If the RCMdoes communicate with the scan tool, Refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND
WARNING CHIMES to diagnose the IPC concern.
If the RCMdoes not communicate with the scan tool, Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to diagnose the
communication concern.

Pinpoint Test B: DTCs B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 and B0001:1A

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors the driver airbag stage 1 and circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted driver airbag

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 or B0001:1A in memory and sends a message to the IPC to
illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Clockspring
Driver airbag
RCM

PINPOINT TEST B: DTCs B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 AND B0001:1A

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the
RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment
of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, 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.
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: 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 parts catalog 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.

Pinpoint Test C: DTCs B0010:11, B0010:12, B0010:13 and B0010:1A

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors the passenger airbag stage 1 and circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted passenger airbag

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0010:11, B0010:12, B0010:13 or B0010:1A in memory and sends a message to the IPC to
illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test will requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Passenger airbag
RCM

Pinpoint Test E: DTCs B0021:11, B0021:12, B0021:13 and B0021:1A

Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors the driver Safety Canopy® and circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted driver Safety Canopy®

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0021:11, B0021:12, B0021:13 or B0021:1A in memory and sends a message to the IPC to
illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Driver Safety Canopy®
RCM

PINPOINT TEST E: DTCs B0021:11, B0021:12, B0021:13 AND B0021:1A

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the
RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment
of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, 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.

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: 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 parts catalog 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.

Pinpoint Test F: DTCs B0028:11, B0028:12, B0028:13 and B0028:1A

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors the passenger seat side airbag and circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted passenger seat side airbag

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B0028:11, B0028:12, B0028:13 or B0028:1A in memory and sends a message to the IPC
module to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections

Pinpoint Test M: DTC B00DF:11, B00DF:12, B00DF:13 or B00DF:1D

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The PAD switch signals the RCM by switching a resistance to ground. If the RCM senses 900-1100 ohms in the PAD switch, it enables the
passenger airbag and turns off the PAD indicator. If the RCM senses 313.5-346.5 ohms in the PAD switch, it deactivates the passenger
airbag and turns the PAD indicator on.
The RCM monitors the status of the PAD switch and circuity. The RCM monitors the PAD switch circuit for the following faults:
Open circuit
Short to voltage
Short to ground
 Faulted PAD switch

The RCM stores DTC B00DF:11, B00DF:12, B00DF:13 or B00DF:1D in memory if any of these conditions are detected. If a fault is
detected, the RCM sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

Pinpoint Test N: DTCs B1211:11, B1211:12, B1211:13 and B1211:1A

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors driver safety belt retractor pretensioner and circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted driver safety belt retractor pretensioner

If a fault is detected, the RCM sets and stores DTC B1211:11, B1211:12, B1211:13 or B1211:1A in memory and sends a message to the
IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Driver safety belt retractor pretensioner
RCM

Pinpoint Test O: DTCs B1214:11, B1214:12, B1214:13 and B1214:1A

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM continuously monitors the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner circuits for the following faults:
Resistance out of range
Unexpected voltage
Short to ground
Faulted passenger safety belt retractor

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B1214:11, B1214:12, B1214:13 or B1214:1A in memory and sends a message to the IPC to
illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if
a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or
higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside
the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in
resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired,
regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis. Following this direction helps make sure that minor
changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test uses a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop
circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner
RCM

Fig. 86: Air Bag Warning Indicator Flow Diagram

DTC DESCRIPTION

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition

B1214:11 - Passenger Seatbelt Retractor Pretensioner When the RCM senses a short to ground on either passenger safety

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Wiring, terminals or connectors
Passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner
RCM

PINPOINT TEST O: DTCs B1214:11, B1214:12, B1214:13 AND B1214:1A

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the
RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment
of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Never disassemble or tamper with seat belt deployable components, including pretensioners, load limiters and inflators.
Never back probe deployable device electrical connectors. Tampering or back probing may cause an accidental
deployment and result in 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.

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: 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 parts catalog 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.

Normal Operation
The RCM monitors all deployable device and sensor circuits for a signal cross coupled (short) between circuits. If the RCM detects a short
between the circuits of one device and another device, it stores a DTC for each of the signal cross coupled faults in memory. The RCM
sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (one loop is either shorted to
battery/ground, open circuit or low resistance), signal cross coupled diagnostics are not active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, the
signal cross coupled diagnostics resume.

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The RCM monitors all SRS device connections. If the RCM detects a connection or device connected that is not stored in memory or is not
configured for the component, the RCM sets a DTC and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate airbag warning indicator.
When a new RCM is installed, it must be configured. Configuration tells the RCM which SRS components the vehicle should be equipped
with. A vehicle may be equipped with the wiring for a specific SRS component, but not equipped with the actual component. If the RCM is
configured for certain SRS components not to be present, but detects that those circuits are in use, "incorrect component installed" DTCs
may be set. An example of this would be installation of aftermarket accessories on the unused PAD switch circuits in a Crew Cab vehicle.

has not yet successfully received configuration data messages from the BCM . DO NOT replace any components for this
DTC unless directed to do so by the following pinpoint test.
Normal Operation - RCM
The RCM receives a configuration data message from the BCM when the RCM proves out during the very first ignition cycle after it is
installed. During prove-out at the beginning of each subsequent ignition cycle, the BCM sends configuration data to the RCM and the RCM
compares the message to the message that was received during the very first ignition cycle.
DTC U2300:55 (Central Configuration: Not Configured) - This DTC is present in every new RCM . Once the new RCM is installed
and it successfully receives a configuration data message from the BCM , this DTC reports as a CMDTC . If the RCM reports this
DTC on-demand, it means that the configuration data message has not been received from the BCM .
DTC U2300:64 (Central Configuration: Signal Plausibility Failure) - If the RCM receives a configuration data message that does not
match the configuration data that was previously received and stored, it sets this DTC. This DTC can set on-demand during the
RCM prove-out, but change to a CMDTC later on in the ignition cycle if the correct message is eventually received. If PMI has not
been carried out for the BCM , this DTC sets.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

BCM
