2003 FORD MUSTANG seat memory

Pinpoint Test B: LFC 21/DTC B1921 —
RCM Bracket Ground Resistance High
Normal Operation
WARNING: The tightening torque of the restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is
critical for proper air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. Refer to Restraints Control Module (RCM) in this section for correct torque values.
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance between the ground connections at its
housing and the reference ground at pin 21. If the RCM detects a resistance greater than 100 ohms, it
will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1921 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 21 (or
higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
High resistance between the RCM housing ground and pin ground can be caused by:
zincorrect seating of the RCM retaining bolts.
z incorrect tightening torque of the RCM retaining bolts.
z high resistance on RCM logic ground circuit 397 (BK/WH).

circuit, it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1870 in memory.
If the RCM detects an air bag indicator failure in addition to another SRS failure, the RCM will send a
signal to the generic electronic module (GEM) to produce five sets of five tone bursts.
Possible Causes
An air bag indicator short to battery condition can be caused by:
zdamaged wiring on circuit 608 (BK/YE).
z an instrument cluster malfunction.
z an RCM internal concern.

WARNING: If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is
being serviced, the system must be deactivated and restraint
system diagnostic tools must be installed. Refer to Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in this section.
The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed
and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is
reactivated to avoid non- deployment in a collision, resulting in
possible personal injury. NOTE: Diagnostics or repairs are not to
be performed on a seat equipped with a seat side air bag with the
seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose or repair a seat
concern when equipped with a seat side air bag, the seat must be
removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools
must be installed in the seat side air bag electrical connectors. The Yes

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Inspection and Repair After a Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) Deployment
WARNING: If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is being serviced, the system must
be deactivated and restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed. Refer to Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in this section.
The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and the air bag modules
reconnected when the system is reactivated to avoid non- deployment in a collision, resulting in
possible personal injury.
NOTE: Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a seat equipped with a seat side air bag with
the seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose or repair a seat concern when equipped with a
seat side air bag, the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools
must be installed in the seat side air bag electrical connectors. The restraint system diagnostic
tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing a SRS the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed
before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing a seat system the restraint system diagnostic tools must be
removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the
customer.
1. When any deployable device (driver air bag, passenger air bag, seat side air bag, safety belt pretensioner, etc.) or combination of devices are deployed and/or the RCM has the DTC B1231
(Crash Data Memory Full) in memory, the repair of the vehicle's supplemental restraint system
(SRS) is to include the removal of all deployed devices and installation of new deployable
devices, the removal and installation of new impact sensors, and the removal and installation of
a new RCM.
2. When any damage to the impact sensor mounting points or mounting hardware has occurred, repair or install new mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.
3. When the driver air bag module has deployed a new clockspring must be installed.
4. Inspect the entire vehicle for damage, including the following components: zsteering column.
z instrument panel knee bolsters and mounting points.
z instrument panel braces and brackets.
z instrument panel and mounting points.
z seats and seat mounting points.
z safety belts, safety belt buckles, and safety belt retractors. For additional information,
refer to Section 501 - 20A .
z supplemental restraint system (SRS) wiring, wiring harnesses, and connectors.
5. After carrying out the review and inspection of the entire vehicle for damage, repair or install new components as needed.
