How to reactivate the air bag system on Ford Contour?

The first step involves disconnecting the battery ground cable before waiting for one minute for the Restraint Control Module (RCM) to dispose of stored energy. The air bag simulator should be taken out from the vehicle harness connector which sits atop the steering column. The risk of air bag injury during handling requires maintaining your body distance from the air bag module by pointing it toward a direction away from yourself. Install the driver air bag module before removing the air bag simulator from the vehicle harness connector at the passenger air bag module and connecting the passenger air bag module electrical connector. The system proof requires connecting the battery ground cable while testing for proper system function.

How to safely deactivate the air bag system before repairing or installing air bag components on Ford Contour?

A safe method for unpowers the air bag system involves using back up power supply depleting procedures to prevent accidental deployments which could lead to personal harm. The Restraint Control Module (RCM) requires at least one minute of ground cable battery disconnection for its stored energy to decrease before process continuation. Disconnection of all additional power supply units needs to happen before auxiliary batteries. In order to decrease accidental injury from air bag deployment when moving them always rotate the air bag along with its trim cover to face away from your body. Position air bag modules at all times with the trim cover facing upward. Move the driver air bag module from the vehicle and install an air bag simulator onto the vehicle harness located by the steering column top. Follow by disconnecting the passenger air bag module electrical connector while installing another air bag simulator onto the vehicle harness which will lead to power supply restoration.
