Procedure 1: Electronic Deployment With Wiring Intact

This procedure ASSUMES air bag wiring is intact, AIR BAG warning light indicates no fault codes, system performance check is okay, and vehicle's battery is still in place (or one has been provided for testing). Perform this procedure outdoors and away from other personnel, as air bag makes a loud noise upon deployment.

  1. Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS  . Check and clear front seat of all loose objects. DO NOT permit any occupants inside vehicle. While standing outside of vehicle, reach in driver's window and turn ignition switch to RUN position.
  2. Observe AIR BAG warning light. If AIR BAG warning light displays any fault codes, go to PROCEDURE 2. If AIR BAG warning light illuminates 4-8 seconds then goes out, system is intact. Go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect rear safing impact sensor connector. See Figure . Connect a jumper wire between circuits No. 611 (White/Orange wire) and 614 (Gray/Orange wire) of rear safing impact sensor connector. See Fig 1 .

  4. Locate left front impact sensor (center front impact sensor on Sable and Taurus) and disconnect connector. Front impact sensor is attached to left front of radiator support. Prepare yourself for a loud noise.
    WARNING: Ensure NO occupants are in vehicle.
  5. Connect a second jumper wire between terminal No. 619 (Pink/White wire) of left front impact sensor connector and ground. On Sable and Taurus, connect a second jumper wire between terminal No. 621 (White/Yellow wire) of center front impact sensor connector and ground. On all models, driver and passenger-side air bags should deploy. If air bags do not deploy, go to PROCEDURE 2. If air bags deployed, a loud noise will be heard and air bag material will be visible.
  6. Allow at least 10 minutes for cooling and dissipation of air bag effluents before approaching vehicle. Air bag(s) are now inoperative and vehicle may be scrapped in usual manner.
