Escape 4WD V6-3.0L (2008)
12. Close the glove compartment door.
13. 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. Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or connector damage.
Install the driver air bag module electrical connectors fully into the driver air bag module. Then connect the horn electrical connector.
14. NOTE:
-
Make sure the driver air bag module wiring harness is routed down and away from the driver air bag module hooks during installation.
-
Audible clicks will be heard when the 3 wire clips are seated in the 3 driver air bag module hooks.
Align the driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 3 driver air bag module hooks to the steering
wheel wire clip.
-
When the 3 driver air bag module hooks are seated in place, gently pull outward at the corners of the driver air bag module to make sure that
the 3 hooks are fully seated. There should also be an even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel. Check the
driver air bag module and trim cover for correct movement when applying the horn.
15. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
16. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SPDJB and install the cover.
17. 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.
Connect the battery ground cable.
18. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key 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.
The flashing might not occur 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 restraints control module using a scan tool.
