Pinpoint Test Bl: Third Row Left SEATBELT Buckle Sensor: Notes

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The RCM continuously monitors the third row left seatbelt buckle sensor circuits for the following faults:

Open circuit
Short to voltage
Short to ground
Current out of range
Faulted third row left seatble buckle sensor

If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B140E:11, B140E:12, B140E:13 or B140E:1D in memory. A faulted third row left seatbelt buckle sensor or a fault on the third row left seatbelt buckle sensor circuits does not illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Inspect for a damaged third row left seatbelt buckle.
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 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.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
