Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  1. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
  2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
  1. The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
  2. Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
  3. The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. Depower the system. For additional information, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
  2. Detach the retaining clips and partially remove the instrument panel center trim panel.
  3. Remove the passenger air bag deactivation indicator.
    1. Release the red disconnect deterrent tab.
    2. Disconnect the connector.
