Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering - With Intelligent Access (IA): Repowering

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Wear eye and ear protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct RCM fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.

NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Install RCM fuse 37 (10A) to the BCM-B and close the cover.
Remove the run/start relay from the BJB.

WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any airbag when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

Connect the battery ground cable.
Wait at least 30 seconds, then remove the fused jumper wire from the BJB .
Install the run/start relay in the BJB and install the cover.
Prove out the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS): Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault is present, the air bag warning indicator:
- fails to light.
- remains lit continuously.
- flashes.
- The flashing may not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the air bag warning indicator and any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) faults.
Clear all CMDTCs from the RCM and OCSM using a scan tool.
