501-20B Supplemental Restraint System	2014 Fiesta
Diagnosis and Testing	Procedure revision date: 05/6/2013

Pinpoint Test - DTC: HH

B00C2:11 and B00C2:12

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 46 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) operates in conjunction with the OCS . The OCSM provides a reference voltage to the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS), which changes as it passes through the sensor, based on how much tension is applied to the safety belt and Belt Tension Sensor (BTS).

The OCSM monitors the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) reference voltage circuit for a short to voltage or a short to ground.

If a fault is detected, the OCSM stores DTC B00C2:11 or B00C2:12 in memory and sends a message to the RCM over the HS-CAN indicating that an OCS fault is present. Upon receipt of this message, the RCM sets DTC B00A0:09 and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC	Description	Fault Trigger Conditions
B00C2:11	Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C": Circuit Short to Ground	A fault is indicated when the OCSM senses a short to ground on the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) reference voltage circuit.
B00C2:12	Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C": Circuit Short to Battery	A fault is indicated when the OCSM senses a short to voltage on the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) reference voltage circuit.

Possible Causes

Wiring, terminals or connectors
Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) (part of RH front passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner)
OCSM

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Inspect for a damaged passenger safety belt or Belt Tension Sensor (BTS).
Inspect for a damaged passenger seat cushion wiring harness.
Inspect for a loose or damaged OCSM or Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) connector.
Inspect for a damaged OCSM .

PINPOINT TEST A : B00C2:11 AND B00C2:12

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 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 OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this section, refer to Safety Warnings in section 100-00 General Information. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

REFER to: Safety Belt and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

Was DTC B00C2:11 or B00C2:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the is no longer retrieved on-demand during the self-test.
For B00C2:11, GO to A2
For B00C2:12, GO to A4

No	This is an intermittent fault when present as a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) only. GO to A6

A2 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS)

WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the OCSM by inducing a different fault condition. If the fault reported changes, this indicates the OCSM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: Passenger Safety Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) C3238.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

DIAGNOSTIC TIP: When viewing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) disconnected, an open circuit fault is normally retrieved. Because the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) shares a connector with the passenger safety belt buckle switch, a passenger safety belt buckle switch circuit fault will also be present in the RCM .

Was DTC B00C2:11 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

GO to A3

No	INSTALL a new passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner assembly. REFER to: Safety Belt Retractor and Pretensioner (501-20A Safety Belt System, Removal and Installation). GO to A7

A3 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) VREF CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: OCSM C3159.

Measure:

No	REPAIR the circuit. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information. GO to A7

A4 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) VREF CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Ignition OFF.
