Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering: Repower

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicles with Push-button Start 

  1. WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this service information, refer to SAFETY WARNINGS . Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
    NOTE: The airbag warning indicator illuminates when the correct RCM  fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
    NOTE: The SRS  must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

    Refer to: HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .

  2. Install RCM  fuse 86 (10A) in the BCM  .
  3. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any airbag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

    Connect the battery.

    Refer to: BATTERY DISCONNECT AND CONNECT .

  4. Remove the BJB cover.
  5. NOTE: This step directs accessing circuits using a backprobe method. Use the special backprobe tool specified in the SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION  . Do not force test leads or other probes into connectors. Adequate care must be exercised to avoid connector terminal damage while ensuring that good electrical contact is made with the circuit terminal. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to wiring, terminals, or connectors and subsequent electrical faults.
    NOTE: Take extra care to make sure that the correct connector terminal is back-probed. Failure to probe the correct terminal may result in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) set in multiple modules or damage to the vehicle.

    Install a backprobe pin and 5-amp fused jumper wire at connector C1035C, pin 2, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH) (vehicles with 2.0L or 2.5L engine)/CDC12 (BU/YE) (vehicles with 1.6L engine). Refer to OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION . Refer to POWER DISTRIBUTION BCM for schematic and connector information.

    Use the General Equipment: Backprobe Pin Set

  6. NOTE: Follow the directions in the following step carefully. Failure to follow the directions as detailed below may result in DTCs set in multiple modules or damage to the vehicle.
    NOTE: This step simulates pressing the start/stop switch by providing momentary voltage to the start/stop switch circuit.

    Using the other end of the fused jumper wire, momentarily touch the fused jumper wire to the positive battery terminal.

  7. Remove the fused jumper wire and backprobe pin from connector C1035C, pin 2, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH) (vehicles with 2.0L or 2.5L engine)/CDC12 (BU/YE) (vehicles with 1.6L engine). Install the BJB cover.

  8. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON.
  9. Install RCM  fuse 86 (10A) in the BCM  .
  10. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any airbag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

    Connect the battery.

    Refer to: BATTERY DISCONNECT AND CONNECT .

  11. Prove out the SRS  : Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and monitor the airbag warning indicator with the airbag installed. The airbag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If a SRS  fault is present, the airbag warning indicator: the airbag warning indicator either fails to light, remains lit continuously or flashes.
  12. The flashing may not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required for the RCM  to complete the testing of the SRS  . If the airbag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS  fault exists, a message will display in the IPC  indicating that a SRS  fault is present. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the airbag warning indicator and any SRS  faults.
  13. Using a scan tool, clear all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) from all modules.
