- WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the Restraints Control Module (RCM) while the Restraints Control Module (RCM) is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy® and cause serious personal injury or death.
- NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. 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.
- NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- AG1 REPAIR THE IMPACT SENSOR
- INSTALL a new suspect impact sensor.

- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the RCM self-test.
Did the DTC return?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM) . GO to AG2 No The system is operating correctly at this time. GO to AG2 - INSTALL a new suspect impact sensor.
- AG2 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
-
NOTE: When selecting Restraints from the Self Test menu, DTCs are retrieved from the RCM and OCSM.
Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform
Restraints self-test.
Are any RCM or OCSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved on-demand during self-test?
Yes Do not clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) until all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been resolved. DIAGNOSE and REPAIR the SRS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to the DTC Chart In this article. No The repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer. -
