Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

During normal operation, the air bag indicator will illuminate continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then go out after the ignition switch is placed in the ON or START position and no air bag faults exist. The air bag indicator will remain illuminated continuously after 5 cycles of a lamp fault code (LFC), if a fault exists. Refer to AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)  in this article.

If the restraints control module (RCM) detects a short to battery on the air bag warning indicator circuit, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1870 in memory. If any other DTCs are active with this DTC, the secondary air bag warning chime will be activated.
