F 150 2WD Pickup V8-4.6L VIN W (2006)
7. Using the end of the jumper harness that the wires are not connected together, attach each wire of the jumper harness to each wire of the safety
canopy/side air curtain module or to the twisted-together wires if multiple squibs. Use tape or other insulating material to make sure that the leads
do not make contact with each other.
8. From the end of the jumper harness that is not connected to the safety canopy/side air curtain module, disconnect the 2 wires of the jumper harness
from each other.
9. Deploy the safety canopy/side air curtain module by touching the ends of the 2 wires of the jumper harness to the terminals of a 12-volt battery.
10. To allow for cooling, wait at least 10 minutes before approaching the deployed safety canopy/side air curtain module.
11. Dispose of the deployed safety canopy/side air curtain module in the same manner as any other part to be scrapped.
Deployable Steering Column - In-Vehicle Deployment
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel at least 9.14 meters (30 feet) away to make sure of personal safety. Due to the
loud report which occurs when the deployable steering column is deployed, hearing protection is required.
1. Depower the system.
2. NOTE: It may be necessary to lower or remove the deployable steering column from the instrument panel to access the deployable steering
column electrical connector.
Access the deployable steering column electrical connector.
3. NOTE: If the deployable steering column does not have a hard-wired pigtail, it will be necessary to cut the wires and connector(s) from the
vehicle wire harness and reconnect to the deployable steering column.
Cut each of the deployable steering column wires, leaving at least 4 inches to work with.
4. Remove any sheathing (if present) and strip the insulation from the ends of the cut wires.
5. Make a jumper harness to deploy the deployable steering column.
-
Obtain 2 wires (20 gauge minimum) at least 9.14 meters (30 feet) long and strip both ends of each wire.
-
At one end of the jumper harness, connect the wires together.
6. Using the end of the jumper harness that the wires are not connected together, attach each wire of the jumper harness to each wire of the
deployable steering column. Use tape or other insulating material to make sure that the leads do not make contact with each other.
7. Remain at least 9.14 meters (30 feet) away from the deployable steering column.
8. From the end of the jumper harness that is not connected to the deployable steering column, disconnect the 2 wires of the jumper harness from
each other.
