Prove Out System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To prove out system, turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position and visually monitor AIR BAG warning light. Restraints Control Module (RCM) illuminates AIR BAG warning light for 6 seconds and then turns it off. This indicates that the AIR BAG warning light is operational. If AIR BAG warning light does not illuminate, stays on or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the RCM.
