warning light FORD E SERIES 2019 User Guide

The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in theinstrument cluster or by a backup tone ifthe warning light is not working. SeeInstrument Cluster (page 53). Routinemaintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after theignition is turned on.
•The readiness light will either flash orstay lit.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. Thetone pattern will repeat periodicallyuntil the problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in theevent of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and theairbag supplemental restraint system aredesigned to activate when the vehiclesustains frontal deceleration sufficient tocause the restraints control module todeploy a safety device.
The fact that the safety belt pretensionersor airbags did not activate in a crash doesnot mean that something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the restraintscontrol module determined the accidentconditions (such as crash severity, beltusage) were not appropriate to activatethese safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is toactivate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
•The design of the safety beltpretensioners is to activate in frontalor near-frontal crashes and may deployin rollovers if the vehicle is equippedwith roll stability control.
