B0011 FORD Possible Causes
- Faulty passenger airbag
- Passenger airbag harness is open or short-circuited
- Poor electrical connection in the passenger airbag circuit
How to Fix B0011 FORD Code?
Start by checking the “possible causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and corresponding connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.
When is the Code Detected?
If the Restraints Control Module (RCM) detects a short circuit between the passenger airbag stage 2 circuits and the circuits of another SRS component, it sets this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and the corresponding SRS component DTC.
Possible Symptoms
Airbag warning light illuminated
B0011 FORD Meaning
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors all deployable device and sensor circuits for a coupled (shorted) signal between circuits. If the RCM detects a short circuit between the circuits of one device and another device, it will store a DTC for each of the signal cross-coupling faults in memory. The RCM sends a message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the airbag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (a loop is either shorted to battery/ground, open circuit, or low resistance), then the signal cross-coupling diagnostics will not be active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, the signal cross-coupling diagnostic resumes.
