Question 1

What checklist should be completed after diagnosing or repairing any Airbag system concern to ensure proper reconnection on Ford Crown Victoria?

Accepted Answer

After diagnosing or repairing any air bag system issue, complete the checklist: ensure all restraint system diagnostic tools are removed, the driver air bag connector at the base of the steering column is connected, all in-seat harness connectors are connected, all air bag modules are connected, safety belt pretensioner connectors are connected, the Restraints Control Module (RCM) is connected, all sensors (front and side impact, seat position, and occupant classification [if equipped]) are connected, and the battery is connected.

Question 2

How should the side Airbag module be removed and installed to prevent accidental deployment and ensure safety on Ford Crown Victoria?

Accepted Answer

The side air bag module requires safe handling by pointing its air bag together with deployment door/take-off cover/tear seam towards a direction that avoids body contact to protect from potential deployment-caused injuries. It is dangerous to probe electrical connectors attached to air bag modules since this activity might initiate accidental deployment. Replacement of a new seat side air bag module becomes necessary when the damage has affected the cover of the air bag or when air bag material shows visible signs of exposure to open elements. The front seat backrest trim covers on seats equipped with side air bags need replacement instead of repair even though cleaning remains possible. Using memory saver devices creates a risk for unintentional deployment therefore users must avoid their usage. When the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON the air bag warning indicator should turn on as a normal operational warning but does not signal any fault. The SRS system must pass a full operational check before the vehicle receives its release. A deployment of the side air bag requires replacement of the seatback pad, trim cover, side air bag module as well as the seatback frame if required. All vehicles require the affected seat to be positioned forward and lifted before performing an SRS depowering procedure. Police vehicles require opening zippers underneath the material before accessing the seat back trim panel to remove it using the bottom screws followed by upper retaining hook disengagement. Non-police vehicles require users to start by extracting the lower of three seat back trim cover J-clips. Detach all hog rings located at the edge of the foam pad which connects to the seat backrest frame. New retaining nuts need to be used for new side air bag installations but retained original nuts should remain for module reusables. Disconnect the electrical connector of the side air bag module before pulling its mounting studs through the deployment chute openings. The side air bag module requires an electrical connector installation before performing surface checks for damage or foreign objects present. The seat side air bag cover needs replacement along with a new module when it shows damage or when air bag material becomes visible. The deployment chute must be checked for damage because unit replacement with a new seat back trim cover will be needed if damage exists. The side air bag module needs to be placed properly in the deployment chute while the alignment pin must face upward and the electrical connector should be at its base. Use the two supplied nuts to install the module on the mounting bracket at the front part of the seat while tightening it to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). The seat backrest trim cover deflector flap must be smooth before continuing to reposition both the seat back pad and trim cover. Place the outboard hog rings properly by allowing them to circle the listing wire inside the foam pad along with the backrest frame wire. Non-police vehicles need both side J-clips attached at the seat top and the three seat back trim cover J-clips must be installed according to their order. The police vehicle back seat trim panel retaining hooks require evaluation for damage and new hooks should replace any damaged ones before installing the panel at a slight inward angle for upper hook capture with screw fastening. The SRS system requires finishing by pulling down the seat backrest material followed by zipping the zippers before tucking the material under itself. Repower the SRS afterward.
