501-20B Supplemental Restraint System | 2013 - 2014 Fusion |
Diagnosis and Testing | Procedure revision date: 08/29/2012 |
C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68, C006A:68
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The RCM provides the stability/traction control system with acceleration sensor data over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN). In addition to transmitting the data, the RCM monitors this data internally to make sure 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, and/or C006A:68 in memory. However, the RCM does not request 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 . |
C006A:68 | Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor: Event Information | A fault is indicated when the multi-axis acceleration sensor is transmitting data that is outside of the range expected by the 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: 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) | ||||
Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68 or C006A:68 the only Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved?
|
||||
A2 CHECK FOR A RETURNING FAULT | ||||
Were Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C0061:68, C0062:68, C0063:68 or C006A:68 the only RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved?
|
||||
A3 CHECK THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) INSTALLATION | ||||
Is the RCM mounted correctly and is the mounting surface clean and free from damage?
|
||||
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.
Was the original DTC retrieved on-demand during self-test?
|
||||
A5 CHECK THE HARNESS AND CONNECTORS | ||||
Were any concerns found?
|
||||
A6 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) | ||||
Are any RCM and/or OCSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved on-demand during self-test?
