2008 Ford E-250 Air Bag Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the driver air bag module to prevent serious personal injury on 2008 Ford E-250?

  A: The driver air bag module requires eye protection during service operations to avoid severe personal harm. Live air bag modules require handling where the air bag deployment door as well as trim cover and tear seam point away from your body during all operations to prevent accidental air bag activation. Never probe the electrical connectors of air bag modules together with safety canopy or side air curtain modules because this practice could result in accidental deployment which escalates the risk of fatal injuries. You should discard air bag assemblies when their trim covers and deployment doors show signs of discolored or damage because installing fresh air bag components provides assured deployment in an accident. Alarming the air bag warning indicator happens when the restraint control module fuse is removed while turning on the ignition switch yet this condition remains normal with no duplicated issues in the supplemental restraint system SRS. A vehicle cannot be released to the customer until the SRS proves complete operational functionality alongside absence of faults. A new component should replace damaged parts but when the new component produces no results the vehicle technician should re-install the authentic part to perform another diagnostic test. Initially depower the SRS system then remove the two caps and bolts from the steering wheel before finishing by tightening these bolts to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). The installation process requires disconnecting the horn electrical connector and checking that the driver air bag module connects with its unique electrical layout to prevent any harm to the components. Remove the driver air bag module by disconnecting its electrical connector and follow the installation steps opposite removal order to complete the process and activate the SRS afterward.
