Passenger-Side Air Bag Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup, 2002 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2002 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2002 Ford Excursion, and 2002 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When sensors close, signaling an impact, air bag igniters trigger inflator. When air bag is activated, instrument panel trim cover tears at seams and hinges, allowing deployment. Passenger-side air bag module is only serviced as a complete assembly.
