F 250 4WD Super Duty V10-6.8L VIN S (2001)
1. Connect the horn electrical connector.
2. Connect the driver air bag module electrical connector.
3. Position the driver air bag module into the steering wheel.
4. Install the two bolts.
5. Install the two steering wheel back cover plugs.
Warning: 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.
8. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
9. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON,
10. Install the ECS or RCM fuse F23 (10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the battery
ground cable is connected.
11. Connect the battery ground cable.
12. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately
six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
-
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 restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be
diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.
Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System - Vehicles Built Before 10/2/2000
WARNING:
^ If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is being serviced, the system must be deactivated and restraint system diagnostic tools must be
installed. Refer to Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -- Vehicles Built Before 10/2/2000.
^ The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is reactivated to avoid
non-deployment in a collision, resulting in possible personal injury.
NOTE:
^ Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a seat equipped with a seat side air bag with the seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose
or repair a seat concern when equipped with a seat side air bag, the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools
must be installed in the seat side air bag electrical connectors. The restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle
over the road.
^ After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
^ After diagnosing or repairing a seat system, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
^ The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable; refer to Battery.
WARNING:
^
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.
^
PLEASE 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).
2. Wait at least one minute for the backup power supply in the air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module to deplete its stored energy.
3. Remove the driver air bag module from the vehicle; refer to Air Bag.
WARNING:
^
CARRY A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE AIR BAG AND TRIM COVER POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. THIS
WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
