Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test F: DTCs B00D5:11, B00D5:12 and B00D5:13


Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) briefly activates the Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) indicator to prove-out and verify to the occupants correct functional operation of the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator.
The RCM (Restraints Control Module) monitors the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuits for the following faults:

- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator
If a fault is detected, the RCM (Restraints Control Module) will store DTC B00D5:11, B00D5:12 and B00D5:13 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

- DTC B00D5:11 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Ground)- When the RCM (Restraints Control Module) senses a short to ground on the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuit, a fault will be indicated.
- DTC B00D5:12 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Battery)- When the RCM (Restraints Control Module) senses a short to voltage on the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator circuit, a fault will be indicated.
- DTC B00D5:13 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Open)- When the RCM (Restraints Control Module) senses an open circuit on the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator or loss of ignition voltage to the PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator, a fault will be indicated.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PAD (Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator
- RCM (Restraints Control Module)
