Pinpoint Test NB: Passenger Seat Track 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 passenger seat track position sensor circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Current out of range
- Faulted passenger seat track position sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B00C5:11, B00C5:12, B00C5:13 or B00C5:1D in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
PPT N RCM DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B00C5:11 | Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground | Sets when the RCM senses a short to ground from the passenger seat position sensor circuit. |
| B00C5:12 | Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery | Sets when the RCM senses a short to voltage from the passenger seat position sensor circuit. |
| B00C5:13 | Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Open | Sets when the RCM senses an open from either passenger seat position sensor circuit. An open passenger seat track position sensor ground circuit also sets this fault. |
| B00C5:1D | Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor: Circuit Current Out of Range | Sets when the RCM senses current outside of an acceptable range from the passenger seat position sensor circuit. |

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Inspect for a damaged driver seat track position sensor.
- 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.
