B10A2  General Signal Failure

This type of code originates in the BCM (Body control module) Due to the RCM (restraint control module) which happens to loose its 5 volts reference voltage  The RCM is under a recall your best repair is to allow the Dealer to honor the Recall. Here a short summary of the Recall

SUMMARY:
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Ford C-Max vehicles manufactured January 19, 2012, to November 21, 2013; Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured February 3, 2012, to August 24, 2013; Ford Escape vehicles manufactured October 5, 2011, to November 1, 2013; and Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to September 30, 2013. The coating on portions of the Restraint Control Module (RCM) may crack, and when exposed to humidity, circuits on the printed circuit board may short.

 CONSEQUENCE:
The short circuits could cause the frontal air bags, side curtain air bags and the seat belt pretensioners to not function as intended when needed, increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
