Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The restraint control module (RCM) is hardwired to the instrument cluster through control circuit 1632 (TN/LB). The instrument cluster monitors the air bag warning lamp control circuit for a ground signal. The instrument cluster turns off the air bag warning indicator when it receives a ground signal from the RCM on the control circuit. During prove-out and when the RCM detects a concern, the RCM provides a ground on the control circuit 1623 (TN/LB) and the instrument cluster turns on the air bag warning indicator.
