Diagnostic Overview

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The RCM provides the stability/traction control system with acceleration sensor data over the HS-CAN . In addition to transmitting the data, the RCM monitors this data internally to make sure that the data is within an expected range.

If the data is outside of the expected range and a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C0064:68 and/or C0065:68 in memory. However, the RCM does not request that the IPC illuminate the airbag warning indicator when these faults are present.


  DTC Fault Trigger Conditions


  DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
C0061:68 Lateral Acceleration Sensor: Event Information A fault is indicated when the lateral acceleration sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the RCM .
C0062:68 Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor: Event Information A fault is indicated when the longitudinal acceleration sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the RCM .
C0063:68 Yaw Rate Sensor: Event Information A fault is indicated when the yaw rate sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the RCM .
C0064:68 Roll Rate Sensor: Event Information A fault is indicated when the roll rate acceleration sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the RCM .
C0065:68 Vertical Acceleration Sensor: Event Information A fault is indicated when the vertical acceleration sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the RCM .

  WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental Supplemental Restraint System (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.
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 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, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
A1 RETRIEVE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out RCM self-test.

Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C0064:68 or C0065:68 the only Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved?
Yes CLEAR the RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). GO to A2
No DIAGNOSE all other RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first.
REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles Without: Rear Seat Side Airbag (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).

A2 CHECK FOR A RETURNING FAULT
  • Test drive the vehicle. Choose a route with LH and RH turns. Avoid rough roads and do not drive the vehicle aggressively.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out RCM self-test.

Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C0064:68 or C0065:68 the only RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved?
Yes GO to A3
No If no RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) were retrieved, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may have been triggered by aggressive driving or rough road conditions. INFORM the customer that aggressive driving conditions or rough road conditions can set these Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
If any other RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) were retrieved,
REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles With: Rear Seat Side Airbag (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).

A3 CHECK THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) INSTALLATION
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Depower the SRS .
    REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures).
  • Inspect the RCM installation and make sure that the hardware is fully seated and tightened correctly.
    REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Vehicles With: Rear Seat Side Airbag (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).
  • Inspect the RCM mounting surface for damage, corrosion, or foreign materials.

Is the RCM mounted correctly and is the mounting surface clean and free from damage?
Yes GO to A4
No REPAIR the mounting or INSTALL new hardware, as necessary. GO to A6

A4 CONFIRM THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) FAULT

NOTE: Make sure all SRS components and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be recorded.

  • Disconnect: RCM C310A and C310B.
  • Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
    • inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
    • inspect wire harness for any damaged, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
    • inspect RCM C310A and C310B Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lever/lock for correct operation.
    • repair any concerns found.
      Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information.
  • Connect: RCM C310A and C310B.
  • Repower the SRS . Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
    REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures).
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
