Supplemental Restraint System Ford Econoline E250

SPECIFICATIONS

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat occupants in addition to that provided by the 3-point safety belt system. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantages of the SRS.

The serviceable air bag and safety belt pretensioner SRS components are shown in the following illustration.

Scheme 2

Principles of Operation

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously receives/monitors inputs from the following Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components.

1. Front impact severity sensor
2. Driver safety belt buckle switch
3. Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) switch

If the RCM detects sudden vehicle deceleration and/or lateral deceleration based on all the information received from all sensors and switches and determines that deployment is required, the RCM sends voltage and current to deploy the appropriate SRS components.

During a frontal crash, the RCM may deploy the following SRS components, based on crash severity and sensor input.

1. Safety belt buckle pretensioner(s)
2. Driver and passenger single-stage air bags

The fact that the safety belt buckle pretensioners or air bags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is wrong with the system.

The RCM performs a self-test of the complete SRS during each startup. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag warning indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated for the rest of the ignition cycle. In addition to the self-test at start up, the RCM continuously monitors all of its SRS components and circuitry for correct operation.

Air Bag Warning Indicator

The air bag warning indicator

1. located in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module will prove out by lighting for 6 seconds and then turn off.
2. will flash and/or illuminate based on the message the IPC module receives from the RCM.
3. will illuminate if the IPC module does not receive a message from the RCM.

Clockspring

The clockspring

1. allows for continuous electrical connections between the driver air bag module and the RCM when the steering wheel is turned.

Driver Air Bag Module

The driver air bag module

1. is a single stage air bag and will deploy depending on vehicle impact severity and sensor input.

High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)

This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The RCM communicates with various modules for required information about the vehicle. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for information about the HS-CAN.

Passenger Air Bag Module

The passenger air bag module

1. is a single stage air bag and will deploy depending on vehicle impact severity and sensor input.

Restraints Control Module (RCM)

Note. This vehicle is equipped with the SYNC® feature which supports the 911 assist option. Refer to the Owner's Literature.

The RCM carries out the following functions

1. Activates the driver/passenger air bag modules depending upon vehicle impact severity and sensor input, in the event of a deployable collision
2. Activates the safety belt buckle pretensioners to remove slack from the safety belt in the event of a deployable collision
3. Monitors the SRS for faults
4. Sends a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator if a fault is detected
5. Communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current and/or historical DTCs

The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected, the RCM will request the IPC module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. When the ignition is turned OFF and then ON, the IPC module will prove out the air bag warning indicator by lighting for 6 seconds. If no faults are detected by the RCM the IPC module will turn the air bag warning indicator off and it will remain off. If the RCM detects a fault, it will send a message to the IPC module to turn the air bag warning indicator on and it will remain on for the rest of the key cycle. If the RCM requests illumination of the air bag warning indicator and the air bag warning indicator does not function, the IPC module will automatically activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5 tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag warning indicator require repair.

The RCM includes a backup power supply. The backup power supply will deploy the SRS components in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after power and/or ground has been removed from the RCM. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

The RCM will also communicate the on-demand (current) and continuous (historical) DTCs through the DLC to the scan tool.

Safety Belt Buckle Switches

The driver safety belt buckle is comprised of integrated circuits called a Hall-effect switch. The safety belt buckle switch indicates to the RCM whether the safety belt are buckled or unbuckled.

The RCM also communicates the driver safety belt buckle switch status to the IPC module, which monitors the information to control the safety belt warning indicator. For information on the safety belt warning indicator, refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES .

Safety Belt Buckle Pretensioners

The safety belt buckle pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioners are activated by the RCM when the module detects a crash event force exceeding a programmed limit.

Secondary Air Bag Warning (Chime)

The secondary air bag warning chime is an audible chime located in and controlled by the IPC module. If a fault is detected with the air bags warning indicator a DTC will be stored in memory of the IPC module. Upon receiving the message from the RCM that a SRS fault has been detected, the IPC module will sound the secondary air bag warning chime in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps.

Impact Sensors (Restraints Sensor)

For this vehicle line, the SRS uses one satellite sensor in addition to the RCM. The RCM is mounted beneath the driver seat. All vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the radiator support. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.

The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate to indicate a fault is present until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by checking the air bag warning indicator in the IPC module. Refer to Prove Out the System in this article.

SYMPTOM CHART

Pinpoint Test A: The Air Bag Warning Indicator is Illuminated Continuously

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

During normal operation, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module will illuminate the air bag indicator continuously for 6 seconds after the ignition is placed in the ON position. If the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is fault free, the air bag warning indicator will turn off and remain off. If a fault is detected in the SRS, the air bag warning indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated for the rest of the ignition cycle until the fault is no longer detected. The Restraints Control Module (RCM) communicates to the IPC module via the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The IPC module will illuminate the air bag warning indicator based on messaging from the RCM or if there is no communication between the RCM and IPC module.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. IPC module
2. RCM

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

1. A1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs Ignition ON. Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM. Were any DTCs retrieved on-demand during self-test? Yes : If DTCs were retrieved, GO to the «RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DTC CHART»(/ford/econoline-e250/2012-2013/remont/airbag/#supplemental-restraint-system__restraints-control-module-rcm-dtc-chart) for pinpoint test direction. Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. No : If the RCM does communicate with the scan tool, REFER to «INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES»(/ford/econoline-e250/2012-2013/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#information-center-instrumentation-message-center-and-warning-chimes) to diagnose the IPC module concern. If the RCM does not communicate with the scan tool, REFER to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(/ford/econoline-e250/2012-2013/remont/communication-devices/#module-communications-network) No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool. Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved.

Pinpoint Test B: DTCs B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 and B0001:1A

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors driver air bag module stage 1 and circuits for the following faults

1. Resistance out of range
2. Unexpected voltage
3. Short to ground
4. Faulted driver air bag module

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 or B0001:1A in memory and send a message to the IPC module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM. If the value displayed is lower or higher than the desired range ( (Scheme 2)below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an intermittent fault. For this reason, the test will require the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired, regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at time of diagnosis. Following this direction will help make sure that minor changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test will use a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop circuit including

Scheme 3

1. Wiring
2. Connections
3. Clockspring
4. Driver air bag module
5. RCM

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. Clockspring
3. Driver air bag module
4. RCM

Note. Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

Note. Supplemental Restraint System (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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent 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.

Pinpoint Test C: DTCs B0010:11, B0010:12, B0010:13 and B0010:1A

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors passenger air bag module stage 1 and circuits for the following faults

1. Resistance out of range
2. Unexpected voltage
3. Short to ground
4. Faulted passenger air bag module

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B0010:11, B0010:12, B0010:13 or B0010:1A in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM. If the value displayed is lower or higher than the desired range of (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an intermittent fault. For this reason, the test will require the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired, regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at time of diagnosis. Following this direction will help make sure that minor changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test will use a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop circuit including

Scheme 10

1. Wiring
2. Connections
3. Passenger air bag module
4. RCM

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. Passenger air bag module
3. RCM

Note. Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

Note. Supplemental Restraint System (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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent 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.

Pinpoint Test F: DTCs B00D5:11, B00D5:12 and B00D5:13

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) briefly activates the Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) indicator to prove-out and verify to the occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.

The RCM monitors the PAD indicator circuits for the following faults

1. Open circuit
2. Short to voltage
3. Short to ground
4. Faulted PAD indicator

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B00D5:11, B00D5:12 and B00D5:13 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

1. DTC B00D5:11 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Ground) - When the RCM senses a short to ground on the PAD indicator circuit, a fault will be indicated.
2. DTC B00D5:12 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Short to Battery) - When the RCM senses a short to voltage on the PAD indicator circuit, a fault will be indicated.
3. DTC B00D5:13 (Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator: Circuit Open) - When the RCM senses an open circuit on the PAD indicator or loss of ignition voltage to the PAD indicator, a fault will be indicated.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. PAD indicator
3. RCM

Note. Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

Note. Supplemental Restraint System (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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.

Pinpoint Test H: DTCs B1212:11, B1212:12, B1212:13 and B1212:1A

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the driver safety belt buckle pretensioner and circuits for the following faults

1. Resistance out of range
2. Unexpected voltage
3. Short to ground
4. Faulted driver safety belt buckle pretensioner

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B1212:11, B1212:12, B1212:13 or B1212:1A in memory and send a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance and uses this measurement in combination with an age correction factor to determine if a fault exists. The value displayed in the PID is the deployment loop resistance as measured by the RCM. If the value displayed is lower or higher than the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts farther outside the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. The RCM fault trigger threshold may vary as the vehicle ages. Small variations in resistance can occur due to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit and/or temperature changes. These variables can result in an intermittent fault. For this reason, the test will require the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault is considered repaired, regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at time of diagnosis. Following this direction will help make sure that minor changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This test will use a process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop circuit including

2. Connections
3. Driver safety belt buckle pretensioner
4. RCM

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. Driver safety belt buckle pretensioner
3. RCM

Note. Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

Note. Supplemental Restraint System (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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent 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.

Pinpoint Test J: DTCs B0001:2B, B0010:2B, B0050:2B, B00DF:2B, B1212:2B and B1213:2B

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS System for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors driver air bag, passenger air bag, Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) switch, driver safety buckle switch and safety belt pretensioner circuits for a signal cross coupled (short) between circuits. If the RCM detects a short between the circuits of one device and another device, it will store a DTC for each of the signal cross coupled faults in memory. The RCM sends a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (one loop is either shorted to battery/ground, has an open circuit or has low resistance), then signal cross coupled diagnostics will not be active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, then the signal cross coupled diagnostics will resume.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. RCM

Note. Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

Note. Supplemental Restraint System (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 Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent 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.

Pinpoint Test L: DTCs U0028:08 and U0028:88

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM -VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS for schematic and connector information.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) supplies the stability/traction control system with the yaw rate, roll rate, lateral and longitudinal accelerometer over a dedicated Controller Area Network 2 (CAN2) bus. If the RCM detects a fault with comminutions with the ABS module or CAN2 bus circuits, it will set DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88.

The RCM does not request the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator if either DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88 is set. The air bag warning indicator will remain off if either of these DTCs are set.

1. DTC U0028:08 (Vehicle Communication Bus A: Bus Signal / Message Failures) - When the RCM does not receive CAN2 bus messages from the ABS module for 5 seconds, a fault will be indicated. An open CAN2 circuit, incorrect installed ABS module or loss of power and/or ground to the ABS module can set this DTC.
2. DTC U0028:88 (Vehicle Communication Bus A: Bus Off) - When the RCM detects the CAN2 circuits are shorted to ground, shorted to voltage or shorted to each other, a fault will be indicated.

The ABS module may set similar DTCs, U0151 (Lost Communication With Restraints Control Module) and U0452 (Invalid Data Received From Restraints Control Module).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. RCM
