2009 Ford Mustang Air Bag Control Module Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the Air Bag Control Module on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: The process of servicing and repairing the Air Bag Control Module should start with a deformation check of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor mounting areas if the vehicle experienced a crash. Any found damage must be returned to its original production form before installing new RCM and sensors without concerns about air bag deployment history to stop fatal injuries. You must refrain from altering the horizontal RCM position when it remains connected to power during ON ignition status to stop the accidental release of Safety Canopy(R). Before installing a new RCM you need to execute Programmable Module Installation (PMI) to avoid system failure and select the proper RCM to prevent erroneous DTCs. Release of the vehicle must wait until the SRS passes all tests while free of faults and the correct RCM fuse removal triggers the air bag warning indicator when the ignition is ON. The process to install a new RCM requires readying for PMI followed by depowering the SRS then removing the instrument panel center finish panel before disconnecting both large and small RCM electrical connectors. Place the new RCM correctly before fastening its three nuts by 12 Nm (106 lb-in). Connect the small RCM electrical connector while checking that the large RCM connector position assurance lever becomes fully open before attaching the large connector because angling this connection might result in electrical problems. The fixing process involves installing the instrument panel center finish panel and repowering the SRS while completing PMI if a new RCM was installed.
