Air Bag Restraint Systems - F150 Pickup

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), also known as air bag system, is designed to provide increased
accident protection for driver and passenger by deploying air bags and seat belt pretensioners in a front-end
collision. The air bags and pretensioners deploy in about 40 milliseconds after impact sensors close. Air bag
system is designed to be used with 3-point seat belts.

During a front-end collision, the air bag Restraints Control Module (RCM) discriminates between an event that
warrants air bag deployment and an event that does not. In a crash of sufficient force, the RCM signals the air
bag modules and pretensioners to simultaneously deploy.

Air bag system includes following components: Restraints Control Module (RCM), also known as electronic
crash sensor or air bag monitor, safing sensor (located inside RCM), back-up power supply (also located inside
the RCM), driver-side air bag module, passenger-side air bag module, Passenger-Side Air Bag Deactivation
(PAD) switch, left and right-side front seat belt pretensioners, AIR BAG warning light, clockspring and
associated wiring harnesses. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS .

SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

1. When checking air bag system operation (also known as prove out system), and upon completion of each

diagnostic test, check for faults in air bag system. To check system, turn ignition switch to RUN position.
If AIR BAG warning light illuminates for 6 seconds and then goes out, air bag system is functioning
