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.
WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
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 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.
  1. AM1: RETRIEVE RCM DTCS 
    WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this article, refer to Safety Warnings in General Information article. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

    Yes No
    If DTC U2300:55 or U2300:64 is retrieved on-demand,
    Go to  AM2.    		 If DTC U2300:55 or U2300:64 is retrieved as a CMDTC, CLEAR the RCM DTCs and REPEAT the self-test.
    If DTC U2300:55 or U2300:64 does not return.
    No fault found.

    Yes No
    Go to  AM5. Key in OFF position.
    In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time.

    Carry out the OCSM and RCM self-test and record DTCs if present. Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved.
    If any SRS DTCs are retrieved, DO NOT clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved.
    DIAGNOSE and REPAIR the RCM and/or OCSM DTCs.
    If no DTCs are retrieved on-demand, the repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
  6. AM6: CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL RCM OR BCM DTCS 
    NOTE: Make sure all SRS components and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, DTCs are set.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Clear the RCM DTCs.
    • Carry out the BCM self-test.
    • Carry out the RCM self-test.
    • Are any DTCs retrieved from the RCM or BCM during self-test? 
    Yes No
    If RCM DTCs were retrieved, do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. REFER to the RCM - Restraint Control Module  DTC Chart.
