Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation And Reactivation: Reactivation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
All vehicles
- Remove restraints control module (RCM) fuse 25 (7.5A) from the SJB.
- Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
- Connect the driver seat side air bag module electrical connector and then slide and engage the seat side air bag electrical connector locking clip.
- Connect the LH side air curtain module electrical connector.
- Install the LH C-pillar trim cover and the retainers.
- Install the LH C-pillar trim cover retainer caps.
- Connect the RH side air curtain module electrical connector.
- Install the RH C-pillar trim cover and the retainers.
- Install the RH C-pillar trim cover retainer caps.
- Connect the passenger seat side air bag module electrical connector and then slide and engage the seat side air bag electrical connector locking clip.
- With the locking buttons released, install the passenger air bag module electrical connectors fully into the passenger air bag module and seat the locking buttons.
- Install the passenger air bag module into the instrument panel.
- Through the glove compartment opening, install the 2 passenger air bag module bolts.
- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).
- Align the 2 retaining clips and install the RH instrument panel trim panel.
- Through the glove compartment opening and the side of the instrument panel, install the 5 RH instrument panel trim panel nuts on the inside of the instrument panel.
- Install the instrument panel end panel.
- Install the passenger air bag module into the instrument panel.
- Install the 2 passenger air bag module bolts.
- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).
- Attach the glove compartment door damper cable and close the glove compartment door.
- With the locking buttons released, install the driver air bag module electrical connectors fully into the driver air bag module and seat the locking buttons.
- Align the driver air bag module locking pins to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 2 driver air bag module locking pins in the steering wheel wire clips.
- When the 2 locking pins are seated in place, there should be an even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel.
- Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
- Install RCM fuse 25 (7.5A) to the SJB and close the cover.
- Connect the battery ground cable.
- Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn OFF. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:
- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM and occupant classification system module (OCSM) using a scan tool.
NOTE:
Fusion shown, Milan and MKZ similar.

CAUTION:
Do not install the passenger air bag module electrical connectors by the locking buttons. Damage to the locking buttons can occur.
CAUTION:
The passenger air bag module electrical connector locking buttons must
be in the released position when the connector is being installed, or connector damage may occur.
CAUTION:
The passenger air bag module electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the passenger air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the passenger air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the passenger air bag module.
NOTE:
RH shown, LH similar.
MKZ
CAUTION:
Do not handle the passenger air bag module by grabbing the edges of the deployment door. Damage to the passenger air bag module may occur.
NOTE:
During air bag module installation, make sure all the deployment door clips are fully seated in the instrument panel.

CAUTION:
Do not handle the passenger air bag module by grabbing the edges of the deployment doors. Damage to the passenger air bag module may occur.
NOTE:
During air bag module installation, make sure all the deployment door clips are fully seated in the instrument panel.
All vehicles
CAUTION:
Do not install the driver air bag module electrical connectors by the locking buttons. Damage to the locking buttons can occur.
CAUTION:
The driver air bag module electrical connector locking buttons must
be in the released position when the connector is being installed, or connector damage may occur.
CAUTION:
The driver air bag module electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the driver air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the driver air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the driver air bag module.
NOTE:
Audible clicks will be heard when both wire clips are seated in the driver air bag module.
WARNING:
Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
