GENERAL PROCEDURES
Programming —Keyless Entry Remote Transmitter
NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters (15K601) must be programmed at the same time.
NOTE: All previous transmitter identification codes (TIC's) will be erased when programming mode is
entered.
NOTE: To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitters into the generic electronic
module (GEM)(14B204), perform the following steps.
1. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN eight times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. If the GEM has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and unlock all the doors.
2. NOTE: The first TIC must be entered within 7.5 seconds of entering the program mode and
additional TICs must be entered within 7.5 seconds of the first TIC. The programming mode is
exited whenever the timing constraints are not met.
Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock
to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed.
3. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait for several seconds and press the button again.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to five minutes after step 1, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed (or reprogrammed),
the GEM will lock and unlock all the doors one last time.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Convertible Top
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
103 , for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
The convertible top will only operate with the parking brake engaged and the ignition switch in the RUN
position. When the parking brake is engaged, the raise and lower relay coils are grounded through the
parking brake switch. The convertible top switch supplies power to the raise or lower relay coil when
raise or lower is selected. This power energizes the coil causing the relay contacts to close which
supplies battery power to the convertible top motor/pump assembly. The normal state of the relay is
connected to ground. When the raise or lower relay is operating, the other relay remains in its normal
state supplying the motor/pump ground.
Convertible Top Adjustments
The convertible top adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

NOTE:
Before starting the adjustment process, inspect the top for damage, make sure that the door
window glass and rear quarter glass are correctly adjusted then completely lower all window glass.
NOTE: After each adjustment make sure the convertible top operates correctly.
The Convertible Top Dowel Pins Fall Forward (Overshoot) or Rearward (Undershoot). The
Receiver Cups — Cam Bolt Adjustment.
1. Remove the quarter trim panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501 - 05 .
2. Close the convertible top and examine the position of the dowel pins relative to the receiver cups.
3. Move the convertible top to the half- open position to access the cam bolt.
4. NOTE: Rotating the top of the cam bolt toward the front of the vehicle will lengthen the top, increase the tension on the top and increase pull - down effort. Rotating the cam bolt in the SECTION 501-

Convertible Top No. 1 Bow is Not Flush to the Header — Balance Link Adjustment.
CAUTION: Over adjustment of the balance link can cause the convertible top to bind up in
the convertible top well.
CAUTION: If the balance link is raised the B- hinge must be adjusted to keep the door
window glass from striking the convertible top, preventing the door from closing.
26. Remove the quarter trim panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501 - 05 .
NOTE: Lowering the balance link will raise the No. 1 bow position to the vehicle header and increase
the pull down effort. Raising the balance link will lower the No. 1 bow to the header of the vehicle and
decrease the pull- down effort.
27. Adjust the balance link assembly. 1. Scribe a mark on the balance link.
2. Loosen the bolts.

Most air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require the use of the
deactivation and reactivation procedures in this section.
The deactivation and reactivation require the installation and removal of restraint system diagnostic
tools. These procedures require removal of driver air bag module, and the disconnection of the
passenger air bag module. This reduces the risk of deployment of air bag modules and safety belt
pretensioners while diagnostics are being carried out.
Restraint system diagnostic tools are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the supplemental
restraint system (SRS). It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a
jumper wire. If a jumper wire is used to short- circuit the air bag module connections, a lamp fault code
(LFC) will be displayed.
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.
The reactivation procedure requires the removal of any restraint system diagnostic tools installed and
the reconnection of any air bag modules disconnected.
Deactivation Procedure
WARNING: If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is being serviced, the system must
be deactivated and restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed. Refer to Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in this section.
The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and the air bag modules
reconnected when the system is reactivated to avoid non- deployment in a collision, resulting in
possible personal injury.
NOTE: Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a seat equipped with a seat side air bag with
the seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose or repair a seat concern when equipped with a
seat side air bag, the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools
must be installed in the seat side air bag electrical connectors. The restraint system diagnostic
tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be
removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing a seat system, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be
removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the
customer.
1. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing,
adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors,
instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
Please refer to the appropriate vehicle shop manual to determine location of the front air
bag sensors.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B- pillar. Klj . 2 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Air Bag Disposal —
Undeployed Inoperative
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury
in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air
bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or deployment door
pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment.
NOTE: All inoperative air bag modules and safety belt pretensioners have been placed on the
Mandatory Return List. All discolored or damaged air bag modules must be treated the same as any
inoperative live air bag being returned.
1. Remove the inoperative component from the vehicle. For additional information, refer to the appropriate air bag procedure in this section.
2. NOTE: When installing a new air bag module, a prepaid return postcard is provided with the
replacement air bag module. The serial number for the new part and the vehicle identification
number (VIN) must be recorded and sent to Ford Motor Company.
If installing a new air bag module, record the necessary information and return the inoperative
air bag module to Ford Motor Company.
