Electrical System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electrical system that supports the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS):
- is powered from the battery through the ignition circuit.
- provides the electrical path from the RCM to the SRS components.
- provides a communication path from the RCM to the air bag warning indicator, located in the instrument cluster (IC) module, via the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN).
- provides the electrical communication path from the RCM to the data link connector (DLC) and all other modules on the HS-CAN.
