Pinpoint Test AFA: Incorrect Component Installed Faults (BXXXX:4A): Notes

Refer to appropriate Supplemental Restraint System in OEM Wiring Diagrams article, for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

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 the airbag warning indicator.

Possible Causes 

WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental SRS deployment. Never compromise or depart from these instructions. Failure to precisely follow all instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental deployment.
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: Only disconnect or reconnect SRS components 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 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.
