Good evening, I'm testing my 2017 Ford Focus, and the airbag warning light has illuminated. The diagnostic tool is showing error code RCM B0090: 81-AF. What could be causing this issue? I've read that this error may stem from wiring or connector faults, or a failure in the restraint sensor system. However, I'd like to understand more specifically what steps to take for my 2017 model to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Thanks for the clarification! I'd like to know exactly where the restraint sensor is located in a 2017 Ford Focus so I can physically check it during my inspection.
