Check the part number listed in the Ford parts catalog to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.
  4. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  5. AG1 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the RCM self-test.
