ISSUE
Some vehicles not equipped with side airbags may exhibit a condition where the Airbag Warning Lamp is illuminated with Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCS) U2017 and/or U2018. This may be caused by the Airbag Control Module defaulting to a vehicle configuration with side airbags. These codes
are unwarranted and will not affect proper restraint system function.
ACTION
Verify Airbag Warning Lamp illumination and DTCs U2017 and/or U2018. Replace Airbag Control Module using new module (YS8Z-14B321-BA)
with a default configuration of a vehicle without side airbags. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1.
Verify Airbag Warning Lamp illumination and DTCs U2017 and/or U2018.
2.
Verify vehicle is not equipped with side airbags.
3.
Replace the existing Airbag Control Module with the revised service part. Refer to the appropriate model year Cougar Workshop Manual, Section
