How should the passenger air bag module be serviced to prevent accidental deployment and ensure safety on 2008 Ford Crown Victoria?

Question

Accepted Answer

To handle passenger air bag modules service the device while maintaining the air bag in position with deployment door/trim cover/tear seam facing away from your person and not putting it into a position with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam facing down because this prevents serious injuries from accidental deployments. It is dangerous to probe any electrical connectors on air bag modules or safety canopy and side air curtain modules because deployment could happen unintentionally leading to serious bodily harm or death. Any attempt to repaint air bag modules violates industry standards since the installation of fresh air bag modules becomes necessary to guarantee correct deployment in emergency situations. The use of memory saver devices goes against reducing accidental deployment risks. When an SRS owner removes the RCM fuse while turning the ignition switch ON the light on the air bag warning indicator should illuminate normally without indicating any faults in the system. The vehicle should only be released after complete SRS functionality testing shows no faults. The repair process requires new part installation followed by checking the problem again after reinstalling the original component. Then perform the diagnostic steps once more. Start your procedures by disabling the SRS function and remove the retaining clips from the right-hand instrument panel trim panel by slowly moving it right while pulling it out. Users should disconnect the rear window defrost switch electrical connector and the clock electrical connector when present together with the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator before proceeding with trim panel removal. Open the glove compartment and remove the isolator before lowering the glove compartment door to its full extent. The installer should disconnect the passenger air bag module electrical connector which is secured by a pin-type retainer on its bracket by accessing the front center of the glove compartment opening. When installing the bolts into the passenger air bag module maintain a torque of 9 Nm (80 lb-in). People should exercise caution when working with the passenger air bag module because handling it at its deployment doors may result in damage. Push the passenger air bag module through the glove compartment opening after you have tightened the two front passenger air bag module bolts to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). The completion requires reverse action of removal and activation of the SRS system.
