Pinpoint Test S: DTCs B0095:11 Or B0095:93
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Pinpoint Test S: DTCs B0095:11 or B0095:93
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the RH front impact severity sensor and circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted RH front impact severity sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B0095:11 or B0095:93 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC B0095:11 (Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground) - When the RCM senses a short to ground on the RH front impact severity sensor feed circuit, a fault will be indicated.
- DTC B0095:93 (Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: No Operation) - When the RCM senses a faulted sensor, a short to voltage on the feed circuit or an open feed or return circuit, a fault will be indicated.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- RH front impact severity sensor
- RCM
PINPOINT TEST S: DTCs B0095:11 OR B0095:93
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(R) and cause 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. Inspection and Verification
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 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(TM) or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, 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.
