The OCSM uses information contained in messages from the RCM sent on the HS-CAN2.

PPT AP OCSM DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
U0151:00 Lost Communication with Restraints Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets if the OCSM does not receive an expected message from the RCM.

Possible Causes 

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the 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.
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 OCSM 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 OCSM component is installed, DTCs may set.
