How should the driver air bag module be serviced and repaired to prevent injury during accidental deployment on 2008 Ford Expedition?

Service and repair of driver air bag modules must be done by confronting both challenges with the air bag directed towards away from the body to avoid injuries from deployment accidents. Touching any electrical connector on air bag modules should be avoided as this can cause accidental deployments which endanger human life. Memory saver devices must never be used because they do not decrease the risk of accidental deployment. Steering wheel hooks must be released from their position by disconnecting all three wire clips in order to prevent any damage during module removal. The warning indicator exists to signal that the restraints control module (RCM) fuse comes loose during the ON ignition condition yet shows no sign of defects. The SRS system needs to be operational and free from abnormalities before vehicle delivery to customers whereby all repairs require the installation of new components. The diagnostic procedure should be performed again by reinstalling the original part after the replacement. Operating procedures should start by caretaking road wheel alignment toward ahead direction while adjusting the steering column for centered position. A 90-degree turn of the steering wheel to the left enables access to driver air bag module wire clips without harming the multi-function switch. The SRS needs to be depowered while technicians remove three screws to release top retainers that secure the lower steering column opening cover and they should detach the adjustable pedals switch connector when present. First disconnect the manual tilt lever (if present) then screw and remove the steering column screw before removing the lower shroud screws and releasing the associated clips to take out the upper shroud. The power tilt steering column switch requires disconnection when it is present but customers must also detach the three clips securing the driver air bag module wires before the module can be removed. Watch in an interior mirror to find the clips and gently pull them to the middle of the wheel to unfasten them. You must first disconnect both electrical connectors and the horn switch connector of the driver air bag module after its removal. Proceed by positioning the steering wheel directly ahead during the installation steps. Before installing the driver air bag module ensure that the electrical connections of the Clock Spring match properly to prevent reverse connection. You should join the horn switch electrical connector with the two driver air bag module connectors before placing the module onto the steering wheel and aligning its locator pins. Make sure the three wire clips produce sound signals when fully engaged while ensuring the trim cover has a smooth gap at all points. Allow the seating of steering column lower shroud followed by power tilt steering column switch installation when present alongside upper shroud installation before tightening the three lower shroud screws. Repower the SRS after reattaching the manual tilt lever and screw with 6 Nm (53 lb-in) torque while reconnecting the adjustable pedals switch connector and installing lower steering column opening cover with its three screws.
