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
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
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) | ||||||||||
Was DTC B00C2:11 or B00C2:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
|
||||||||||
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.

||||||||||
A3 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) VREF CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND | ||||||||||
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.
Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
|
||||||||||
A4 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) VREF CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE | ||||||||||
Is any voltage present?
|
||||||||||
A5 CONFIRM THE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) FAULT | ||||||||||
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: Make sure all OCS system components, restraint system sensor electrical connectors 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?

A6 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT | ||||||||||
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.
Was DTC B00C2:11 or B00C2:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
|
||||||||||
A7 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) | ||||||||||
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.
Are any RCM and/or OCSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved?

Removal
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
NOTE: This step is only necessary when installing a new component to the left-hand side.
Remove the nuts and position aside the remote brake fluid reservoir.
