Event Notification Signal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The event notification feature provides other vehicle subsystems with information pertaining to SRS deployment or fuel cutoff status. When an impact occurs which exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the RCM sends a signal on a dedicated circuit to the BCM.
When the BCM receives the crash signal input, it initiates fuel cutoff to disable the fuel system.
After the fuel system is disabled, the vehicle can be re-started after carrying out the following steps:
- Turn the ignition ON and wait 10 seconds.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Turn the ignition ON.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Turn the ignition ON.
