Fuel System Shutoff Feature
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.
The vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by the Restraints Control Module (RCM). The FP control module receives an event notification signal from the RCM to disable the FP. The event notification signal is sent on a dedicated circuit between the FP control module and the RCM. 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.
