Chuck :

This means that a crash event occured and the crash data memory is full,you will have to replace the restraint control module for this.

Chuck :

Here is what the Ford shop manual states:

Lamp Fault Code (LFC) No DTCs

This signifies the RCM has detected a deployment and at one time had a DTC B1231 that was cleared with a scan tool. The flash code 13 will not clear. Installation of a new RCM is required.

JACUSTOMER-0vhs6uve- :

Thanks, Chuck, I'll try that.

Chuck :

Thanks for using Just Answer

Chuck :

The RCM will have to be programmed to the vehicle also
