What steps should be taken before servicing air bag components and how should the driver side air bag module be installed on Mercury Villager?

Depletion of back up power supply energy must be checked by disconnecting the battery ground cable followed by a three-minute waiting period before starting any air bag component service. The diagnostic process should begin only after reinstallation of the original part followed by another attempt at diagnosing the issue. Make sure to check the air bag system first because deploying an air bag after a frontal collision might not be required when installing new driver side air bag modules. Start the procedure by removing the battery ground cable followed by at least three minutes of wait time. First remove the two driver air bag module retaining bolt access covers followed by taking off the steering wheel bottom cover for access to the electrical connector. Remove the driver air bag module electrical connector and detach its two retaining bolts before discarding them. The driver air bag module removal requires the separation of the steering wheel component while disconnecting the horn pad switch. The installation process follows the removal steps in reverse order while using new bolts in place of driver side air bag module retaining bolts since these elements have a distinct bonding agent applied to them. The completion of this process requires generating a supplemental restraint system (SRS) proof out operation.

What checklist should be completed after diagnosing or repairing any air bag system concern on Mercury Villager?

Any concern diagnosis or repair process involving the air bag system needs completion of the following points: verify that diagnostic connectors are reattached and confirm proper connection of driver air bag module and passenger air bag module followed by front driver pretensioner and front passenger pretensioner checks, validate air bag diagnostic monitor connection, and test the vehicle battery.
