2.5L and 3.0L vehicles

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by the event notification signal. The event notification signal is provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shutoff the FP module. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.
