Pinpoint Test Abb: Right Front Impact Sensor (Includes Component Internal Failure): Notes
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The RCM continuously monitors the right front impact sensor circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted right front impact sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B1417:11, B1417:12, B1417:13 or B1417:96 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
PPT AB RCM DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B0095:11 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground |
A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to ground from the right front impact sensor feed circuit. |
| B0095:81 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: Invalid Serial Data Received |
A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted right front impact sensor or an open circuit from the sensor feed or return circuits. |
| B0095:93 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: No Operation |
A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted right front impact sensor or a short to voltage from the sensor feed circuit. |
Possible Causes
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Right front impact sensor
- RCM
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Inspect for a damaged right front impact sensor.
- Inspect the right front impact sensor mounting and orientation.
- Inspect for damaged wiring harness(es).
- Inspect for loose or damaged connectors.
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.
CAUTION:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
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:
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.
