Escape AWD V6-3.0L VIN 1 (2004)
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is
involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or any
other damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or
side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near the front or
side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
Refer to the appropriate component or system to determine location of the front air bag sensors.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary
batteries and power supplies (if equipped). Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
-
The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in
injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side air bag system is being repaired the air bag system must be deactivated per the deactivation procedure
contained in Air Bag Systems.
-
Restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed under the seats in the side air bag to floor connector.
-
Diagnostics or repairs are not to be carried out on a side air bag system or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) with the seat in the vehicle. Prior
to attempting to diagnose/repair the side air bag system or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) the seat must be removed from the vehicle and
the restraint system diagnostic tool must be installed in side air bag connector at the floor connector. The restraint system diagnostic tool must be
removed prior to operating the vehicle.
-
Diagnostics may be carried out on seat systems other than the side air bag system or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) (climate controlled,
heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system diagnostic tool is installed under the seat in the side
air bag to floor connector.
-
After diagnosing/repairing a seat system the restraint system diagnostic tool must be removed before operating the vehicle.
-
A repair is made by installing a new part only. If a new part is installed and the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and
carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
-
If a side air bag deployment took place, a new seatback pad, trim cover, and side air bag module must be installed. A new seatback frame should
be installed if necessary.
All vehicles
1. Install the front seat cushion trim to the front seat cushion pad.
2. Install the front seat cushion trim and pad to the front seat cushion frame.
-
If equipped with heated seats, connect the backrest heated grid connector and the seat cushion heated grid electrical connector to the seat
wiring harness.
