2002 Lincoln Blackwood Air Bag Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How Can Air Bags Be Safely Armed and Disarmed Without Removing Seats on 2002 Lincoln Blackwood?

  A: The air bag equipment needs two different procedures to become operational or inoperative through front seat removal in case of seat side air bag evaluation but does not require seat detachment when addressing different air bags problems. A procedure exists to deactivate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before repairs while the installation of restraint system diagnostic tools helps prevent accidental system deployment that could harm technicians. A technician should deplete back up supply energy by removing the battery ground cable for one minute while disconnecting all auxiliary batteries and power suppliers. Starting with moving front seats to maximum height and trailing position, technicians detach the driver air bag module while they connect diagnostic tool 418-F088 (105-R0012) to the Clock Spring section of the driver air bag module electrical connector. The procedure starts by taking away the instrument panel relay cover and disconnecting the passenger air bag module electrical connector before using the same diagnostic tool to connect with the vehicle harness side of the passenger air bag module electrical connector. The technician disconnects the passenger seat side air bag electrical connector and proceeds to attach restraint system diagnostic tool 418-133 (40-009) to that interface. To detach the electrical connector of the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner one removes the B-pillar trim panel before connecting the same diagnostic tool to the electrical connector. The driver seat side air bag electrical connector gets removed from service for attachment of restraint system diagnostic tool 418-133 (40-009). The diagnostic tool is connected to the driver safety belt retractor pretensioner electrical connector once the B-pillar trim panel is removed to disconnect it. The battery ground cable gets reattached after which the system requires proofing to verify complete functionality and absence of defects for customer vehicle release.
