Section 01-20B: Restraints, Passive, Supplemental Air Bag System | 1996 F-150, F-250, Bronco Workshop Manual |
Normal Operation
The air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the key is in RUN, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the instrument cluster (10849). These diagnostic trouble codes will be continually displayed until the fault has been diagnosed and corrected.
When the fault has been successfully corrected, the fault code will be automatically removed from the air bag indicator.
