1997 Town Car V8-46L Seat Belt and Air Bag Systems Service & Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
Prove Out System
Prior to attempting diagnostic prove out on a serviced vehicle, thoroughly check RH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket, LH primary crash
front air bag sensor and bracket, air bag diagnostic monitor and wiring for damaged or pinched wires which may cause the air bag diagnostic monitor to
open the 10 amp air bag battery feed fuse.
After all service, VERIFY THE AIR BAG INDICATOR. This means turn the ignition switch to RUN and count the flashes. If the AIR BAG warning
indicator comes on continuously for six seconds and then goes out, and if no DTCs flash within 30 seconds, the air bag system is functioning properly
and all malfunctions have been serviced. Refer to Testing and Inspection for additional diagnostic information.
