09 ESCAPE U3000 SOLVED!!!!!!!!!

[andrey]

hello every one .
i decided to share this fixes so it may help some one like me.



seat belt pretension & buckle up was deployed so i replaced it with good used one
crash data was erased but u3000 code is present! tried like 4to7 different cleared dumps then bought
one module from scrap yard then 2nd one from good user of forum r (repairmymodule ) module with
same number but u3000 is present no matter what.
finally one of my friend and also good member of this forum told me to look for some kind of short
like airbags/ buckle's/ seat belts and sensors . so data stream didn't show any suspicious reading other
than front driver seat belt have 1 amp more than other 3.
so i simply disconnected front driver seat belt pretensioner and u3000 is gone! now other code appears for
front driver pretensioner, plug 2.4 om resistor and all good!!! no more code.

So, your driver belt pretensioner has lower resistance than normal ? Or higher ?

[andrey]

[QUOTE=credoline;2480112]So, your driver belt pretensioner has lower resistance than normal ? Or higher ?[/QUOT

all 4 has same resistance the only difference in amps. yep you wright amps measure's in resistance .
yes it was 1 amp higher . and buy the way i removed 2.4 resistor off and reconnect it back to pretensioner to see if u3000 will come back ? but nothing happened! i even tried to move this belt connector from side to side up and down
just to make sure it's not gonna do it again and thank God it's not causing any type of short, no code no srs light

answering this to { autorebuilder} to my pm

yes i used the same pretensioner . it was slightly shorted and when i disconnect it the u3000 is gone!
plug it back and all ok . the main thing is to get rid of u3000 . did you try another module?

Andrey, Yes we installed another module. That is the issue. We installed another module and the code U3000 is not present. So it won't make a difference if we disconnected the seatbelt tensioners or not. The module is showing YAW RATE sensor codes also. U3000-49 Internal Module Failure. Any ideas on what to try next?

upps sorry for delay .
did you say you tried another module and u3000 is not present ?

i guess i don't understand! . the original one have u3000??? but another one don't?

[andrey]

year make and module and what scan tool are you using
and what components did you replace ? like seat belt pretension airbags and sensors ?

first of all if no code is present on another one ? then it have nothing to do with anything! the problem is inside of your srs module . if both of module showing the same results ? then the problem is somewhere in the car .







and ye ! don't forget to press thanks bottom if you found it no matter helpful or not:)

Hi Andrey, That is correct. No matter how many USED modules are installed I get the U3000 code. I installed at least 6 modules that we suppose to have no codes but all of them give me the same U3000.
I gave in and purchased a NEW module from the dealership and there are NO CODES present in the module at all. Nothing in the vehicle was replaced, no changes to the vehicle, we just simply purchased a NEW module and they programmed it to the vehicle and it not has NO CODES.
Then I took that same module that the dealership programmed and removed it to read the data in the module. I then programmed that information into all of the other modules that I had here. I then re-installed them back into the vehicle one by one and each one of them still has the U3000 codes present. I then re-install the NEW module back into the vehicle and no airbag light and no codes present.
I am out of ideas on what to try next. The used modules all have the SAME information as the new module that is working and they all have the same U3000-49 and YAW RATE SENSOR code present. -- I think you got lucky with some seatbelt issue is all I can think?

1 year make and model of your car?
2 what tools did you use to read and write ?

you need to move flash from your new module to used module eprom not gonna work
try to erase code in accupant module first then yaw sensor then srs .

try to disconnect yaw sensor

The YAW RATE Sensor is part of the circuit board. It is built in to the board. No way to remove it. Year, Make and Model, --- 2010 Ford Focus. NO code is present in the module but the U3000 code after erasing. The only reason that I moved over the data from the NEW module to the ones that had the U3000 code was that the U3000 code would not clear. Still with U3000 code AFTER swapping eprom data. That was a last option but it didn't work anyway. - Install the NEW virgin module back into the vehicle and no codes present. -- I found some other modules today that we had and they are all doing the same thing. There are post on this site that show others just editing the data from the module and re-installing back into the module and vehicle and they claim that the U3000 codes are not present on them. I would need to see that to believe it. This is a pain in the butt! This U3000 is not repairable at this point that I can see. If you have any ideas let me know but when you swap out a module with another this tell me that I have 6 bad modules that all have U3000 codes present and no way to repair them.

[andrey]

you didn't tell what tools are you using to read write?
it's sound like your data is corrupted or incorrect .
try to read full flash of off dealer srs then write it to one of your used one

I have came across this before but it was a 2012 focus, different module design. Problem was programming in circuit.

Is your module a 9S43 or 8S43?

Its not really feasible to read processor flash. These use external eeprom, not like modules with Infineon XC23xx.

Should be able to repair with a know working dump. Program out of circuit. I can always read these in circuit ok but always verify error when writing. I always lift pins 1-4 to program these.


Good luck
