z
If the driver safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the reminder
chime is sounding, then the safety belt warning indicator and reminder chime turn off.
z If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to ON, then the safety belt
warning light will turn on for 3 seconds and then off. The indicator chime will remain off.
Belt Minder (if equipped)
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature
provides additional reminders to the driver that the driver's safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
Safety Belt Extension
A safety belt that is too short even when fully extended can be lengthened. The safety belt extension
(611C22) is available. This assembly will add approximately 20 cm (8 inches) to the length of the
safety belt. Use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short when fully extended. Do not
use the safety belt extension to alter the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. Safety belt extensions
are available at no cost from any authorized Ford or Lincoln- Mercury dealer.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
The lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) system is a standarized and uniform attachment
system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. LATCH- equipped child safety seats have
two lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the LATCH system.
The vehicle portion of the system consists of two attachment points (6- mm wires) bolted to the floor
pan at both second row outboard seating positions. The attachment points protrude from the biteline
between the seat cushion and seat backrest.
If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for
damage. If any of the attachment points (6- mm wires) are damaged, a new one must be installed. See
the appropriate removal and installation procedure in this section for service.
Attaching Safety Seats with Tether Straps
Some manufacturers make child safety seats that include a tether strap that goes over the back of the
vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an
accessory. Contact the manufacturer of the child safety seat for information about ordering a tether
strap. If... Then...
The driver's safety belt is not buckled
approximately 5 seconds after the safety
belt warning light has turned off... The Belt Minder feature is activated —
the safety belt
warning light illuminates and the warning chime sounds for
6 seconds every 30 seconds, repeating for approximately
5 minutes or until safety belt is buckled. The driver's safety belt is buckled while
the safety belt indicator light is
illuminated and the safety belt warning
chime is sounding... The Belt Minder feature will not activate.
The driver's safety belt is buckled before
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position... The Belt Minder feature will not activate. Klj . 2 ba

Driver Air Bag Module
The driver air bag module:
zis installed as an assembly.
z is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
Clockspring
The clockspring: zis mounted on the steering column, behind the steering wheel.
z provides a continuous electrical path from the restraints control module (RCM) to the driver air
bag.
Passenger Air Bag Module
The passenger air bag module: zis installed as an assembly.
z is mounted in the RH side of the instrument panel.
Restraints Control Module (RCM)
The restraints control module (RCM) performs the following functions: zsignals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
z monitors the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) for faults.
z illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
z flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the lamp fault code (LFC) detected.
z communicates through the data link connector (DLC) the current or historical diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs).
z signals the generic electronic module (GEM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not repaired separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in the
RUN position, the RCM will illuminate the air bag indicator located in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will begin its prove out
sequence. During prove out the air bag indicator will illuminate for six seconds, go off for two seconds
and then, if a system fault exists, flash the two- digit LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five
times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the Klj . 2 ba

Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by checking the air bag indicator in the instrument cluster. Refer to Prove Out the System in this section.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage using the following chart:
3. If the concern is not visually evident, use the scan tool to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and perform the on- demand self test.
4. WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only.
Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and
possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
If the on- demand self test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart .
5. If DTCs are retrieved, proceed to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Priority Table.

Pinpoint Test N: DTC B1869 —
Air Bag Indicator Inoperative
Normal Operation
The air bag indicator is designed to illuminate for 6 (+/- 2) seconds when the ignition switch is turned to
the RUN position. This initial 6 seconds of illumination is considered normal operation and is called
proveout of the air bag indicator. The air bag indicator is then used to warn the driver that there is a
fault in the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS).
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the air bag indicator for open and short to ground
conditions. If the RCM detects an open or short to ground condition on the air bag indicator circuit, it
will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1869 in memory.
If the RCM detects an air bag indicator failure in addition to another SRS failure, the RCM will send a
signal to the generic electronic module (GEM) to produce five sets of five tone bursts.
Possible Causes
An air bag indicator inoperative condition can be caused by:
za damaged wiring on circuit 608 (BK/YE).
z a damaged or burned out air bag indicator.
z worn or damaged instrument cluster.
z an RCM internal concern.
