Possible Sources


PINPOINT TEST A : U024C:00
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.
A1   CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out a network test.

Does the SCMH pass the network test?

Yes GO to A2
No To diagnose no communication with the SCMH ,
REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).


A2   CHECK THE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (CMDTCS)
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear OCSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Wait 10 seconds.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test and record any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that are retrieved.

Is DTC U024C:00 retrieved again?

Yes GO to A3
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.


A3   RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) SELF-TEST
  • Check the recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the OCSM self-test.

Is DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 recorded?
