Component Tests
Grid Wire Test
1. Using a bright lamp inside the vehicle, inspect the wire grid from the exterior. A broken grid wire will appear as a brown spot.
2. Run the engine at idle. Set the rear window defrost switch to ON. The indicator light should come on.
3. Working from the interior of the vehicle with a voltmeter, contact the broad red- brown stripes of
the rear glass window positive lead to battery side and negative lead to ground side. The meter
should read 10- 13 volts. A lower voltage reading indicates a loose ground connection.
4. Contact a good ground point with the negative lead of the meter. The voltage reading should not differ.
5. With the negative lead of the meter grounded, touch each grid line of the heated rear window glass at its midpoint with the positive lead. A reading of approximately 6 volts indicates that the
line is good. A reading of zero volts indicates that the line is broken between the midpoint and
the B+ side of the grid line. A reading of 12 volts indicates that the circuit is broken between the
midpoint of the grid line and ground. z
Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? I4 CHECK THE ICM FOR CORRECT OPERATION
z
Disconnect all ICM connectors.
z Check for:
zcorrosion
z pushed- out pins
z Connect all ICM connectors and make sure they seat
correctly.
z Operate the system and verify the concern is still
present.
z Is the concern still present? Yes
INSTALL a new ICM. REFER
to Section 413
- 01 . CLEAR the
DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
No
The system is operating
correctly at this time. Concern
may have been caused by a
loose or corroded connector.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT
the self- test. Klj . 31 ba

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...

Functional Test III (System Road Test Inspection)
1. NOTE: If the RH or the rear safety belts are to be tested, the assistance of a passenger is
required.
Fasten the safety belts and proceed to a safe area.
2. Attain a speed of 8 km/h (5 mph).
3. WARNING: The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves if the
retractor does not lock.
Test the safety belts. 1. Grasp the shoulder harness and prepare to lean forward.
2. WARNING: The maximum brake application should be on dry concrete or
equivalent hard surface, NEVER on wet pavement or gravel.
WARNING: The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves
in the event the retractor does not lock.
Make a maximum brake application without a skid.
3. NOTE: Do not jerk on the safety belt webbing when carrying out this test. Lean forward slightly when the brake application is made.
4. The safety belts should lock up with minimum webbing extension.
5. If there is a lockup of both shoulder straps, the safety belt assemblies are functioning correctly. Should either or both retractors fail to lock up at the 8 km/h (5 mph) speed, repeat the test at a
constant 24 km/h (15 mph) speed. (This test must be carried out with the assistance of a RH
front or rear passenger if the RH front or rear safety belts are to be tested).
6. CAUTION: Before installing a new safety belt assembly, inspect the mounting area
for damage and distortion. If the retractor of a new safety belt assembly has been bolted
into a damaged or distorted mounting area, the retractor could be warped and may not
function. If this is the case, remove the retractor and return the sheet metal to the
original configuration and install another complete safety belt assembly.
If the retractors do not lock up at the 24 km/h (15 mph) test, return the vehicle for service of
malfunctioning safety belts.
Functional Test IV (Automatic Locking Retractor) WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all outboard seating
positions (except driver, which has no "automatic locking retractor" feature) must be checked
by a qualified technician to verify that the "automatic locking" feature for child seats is still
functioning correctly, in addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new
safety belt and retractor assembly must be installed if the safety belt assembly's "automatic
locking retractor" feature or any other safety belt function is not operating correctly when
checked according to the procedures in the workshop manual. Failure to install a new safety
belt and retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions.

steering column.
4. WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away
from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment.
Install the driver air bag module. Refer to Driver Air Bag Module in this section.
5. 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.
Remove the restraint system diagnostic tool from the vehicle harness connector at the
passenger air bag module.
6. Connect the passenger air bag module electrical connector.
7. Reconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414 - 01 .
8. Prove out the system.
Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator
with the air bag modules or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: zfail to light.
z remain lit continuously.
z flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned
from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the restraints control module (RCM) to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime
will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be
repaired before diagnosis can continue.
Glossary
Restraint System Diagnostic Tool
Restraint system diagnostic tools are used to simulate air bag module connections to the system.
Disconnect the Component
Disconnect the component means disconnect the component vehicle harness connector. It does not
mean remove the component. Do not reconnect a disconnected component unless instructed to do so. Deactivate the System Klj . 4 ba
