Pinpoint Test Y: DTCs B00C2:12, B00C2:13 and B00C2:1A
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Pinpoint Test Y: DTCs B00C2:12, B00C2:13 and B00C2:1A
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) monitors Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) weight sensor bolt "C" and circuitry for faults. If the OCSM detects a fault, it will store DTC B00C2:12, B00C2:13 or B00C2:1A in memory and send a message to the Restraints Control Module (RCM).
The RCM will store DTC B00A0:09 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC B00C2:12 (Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C": Circuit Short To Battery) - When the OCSM measures voltage on the OCS weight sensor bolt "C" signal circuit above 4.85 volts, a fault will be indicated. An open sensor return circuit may set this DTC.
- DTC B00C2:13 (Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C": Circuit Open) - When the OCSM measures resistance greater than 498,200 ohms on the OCS weight sensor bolt "C" signal circuit, a fault will be indicated.
- DTC B00C2:1A (Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C": Circuit Resistance Below Threshold) - When the OCSM measures resistance less than 441,800 ohms on the OCS weight sensor bolt "C" signal circuit, a fault will be indicated.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- OCS weight sensor bolt "C"
- OCSM
PINPOINT TEST Y: DTCs B00C2:12, B00C2:13 AND B00C2:1A
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, Safety Canopy(R) 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.
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.
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: The OCS weight sensor bolts are 3 wire sensors and 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.
