Occupant Classification Sensor CAUTION: It is necessary to rezero the OCS system when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A diagnostic tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out rezeroing of the OCS system. CAUTION: There are 2 occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kits available for this vehicle (base seat and heated seat). Always make sure the correct OCS service kit is installed. CAUTION: Make sure the seat is completely assembled before rezeroing.2005 Ford Escape 2005 RESTRAINTS Supplemental Restraint System - Escape & Mariner CAUTION: The following precautions must be taken before rezeroing of the OCS system. « Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present. « Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when initiating the rezeroing process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes. « Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before rezeroing and nothing is placed on the seat during the rezeroing process. « Make sure a minimum 5-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the rezeroing process. NOTE: For best results in rezeroing, the OCS system should be at or near room temperature, 10°C to 29°C (50°F to 85°F). NOTE: When using an NGS+ (NGS with Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and the latest software update) to rezero the OCS system: # select "FUNCTION TEST" select "SYSTEM RESET" + view the on-screen information, then press "TRIGGER" The NGS+ screen will then display "OCS RESET: REZERO." Press "DONE" (button 8) to rezero the OCS system. The NGS+ will display "TEST/FUNCTION SUCCESSFUL" once rezeroing of the OCS system is complete. NOTE: To rezero the OCS system using the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS): select the "Toolbox" icon select "Body" from the menu select "Restraints" from the menu select "Seat Weight Sensor ReZero" ‘After celectine "Seat Weicht Sensor ReZero" follow the on-screen prompts to carry ont2005 Ford Escape 2005 RESTRAINTS Supplemental Restraint System - Escape & Mariner rezeroing of the OCS NOTE: To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCS ECU electrical connector. A production OCS system allows the disconnect of the electrical connector from the OCS ECU. An OCS system service kit (OCS service kit) has the OCS ECU electrical connector glued to the ECU, it cannot and should not be disconnected or altered. An OCS system service kit also has an in-line 10-pin connector between the OCS ECU and the seat wiring hamess. NOTE: There was a change to the OCS ECU dependent on the vehicle build date. The OCS ECU will have either a 10-pin connector (early build) or an 18-pin connector (late build). When installing a new OCS service kit, always make sure the correct OCS service kit is being installed. The early build/late build OCS service kits are not interchangeable. NOTE: The heated seat element on the front passenger seat cushion is not serviceable separately. If a new heated seat element is needed on the front passenger seat cushion, a new occupant classification sensor (OCS) service kit equipped with a heated seat element must be installed. NOTE: If the first attempt to rezero the OCS system is unsuccessful, a second attempt must be made. The seat occupant classification sensor system is found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is comprised of a silicone gel-filled bladder mounted in the seat cushion, a pressure sensor that is mounted to the seat frame and an electronic control unit which is also mounted to the seat frame. Pressure is applied to the OCS bladder when the weight of any occupant or object in the front passenger seat is present. The pressure is then transferred through a tube, is sensed by the OCS pressure sensor, then electronically communicated to the OCS electronic control unit. Based on programmed limits, the OCS electronic control unit will inform the restraints control module (RCM), via a High Speed Controller Area Network (CAN), of the necessary information The RCM uses this information in determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag module is to be deployed in the event of a deployable collision. The OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If installing a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion2005 Ford Escape 2005 RESTRAINTS Supplemental Restraint System - Escape & Mariner foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) must be installed as an assembly. The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt Minder. For additional information on the passenger Belt Minder feature, refer to SAFETY BELT SYSTEM . To deactivate or reactivate the passenger Belt Minder feature, refer to WARNING DEVICES or the owner literature. Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Indicator The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is a visual indicator used to inform the front seat occupants of the passenger air bag deactivation state. The PAD indicator is a stand-alone lamp installed into the vehicle instrument panel in a position visible to each front seat occupant. The restraints control module (RCM) controls the state of the PAD indicator through a direct hardwire connection, based on information provided by the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. The PAD indicator is lit to indicate the passenger air bag module is disabled. An exemption to this is when the front passenger seat is determined to be empty, and therefore indication of a deactivated passenger air bag module is not necessary. In all other cases, the PAD indicator is unlit when the passenger air bag module is enabled When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the PAD indicator prove-out period is initiated by the RCM. The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify to the front occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator. The PAD indicator will lit/unlit within 1.0 to 1.5 seconds of a change of state from the OCS system When an OCS system fault is present the SRS defaults the passenger air bag module to enabled regardless of the size of the occupant in the front outboard passenger seat. The PAD indicator will be unlit. For additional information on the OCS system, refer to OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR. The following table indicates the passenger air bag status and the PAD indicator status based the size of the front outboard passenger occupant.

Je passenger side of the instrument panel will deploy upon receiving a flow of current from the restraints control module (RCM) is single stage unit on Escape Hybrid vehicles, nit on Escape and Mariner vehicles Restraints Control Module (RCM) WARNING: WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal injury. The RCM orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition. CAUTION: When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), NOTE: When always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. The RCM 40-pin connector has different keying configurations dependent on the vehicle build date and option content. Do not force the 40-pin connector onto the RCM. If the connector is forced onto the RCM, damage to the RCM and/or connector will occur. installing a new restraints control module (RCM), always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.2005 Ford Escape 2005 RESTRAINTS Supplemental Restraint System - Escape & Mariner The restraints control module carries out the following functions: « deploys the air bag(s) in the event of a deployable crash activates the safety belt buckle pretensioners to remove slack from the safety belt. monitors the SRS for faults. illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected. flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the lamp fault code (LFC) detected. communicates through the data link connector (DLC) the current or historical diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). signals the instrument cluster module to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not available and another SRS fault exists, The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in the ON 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 prove out by lighting for 6 seconds and then off for 2 seconds. After the prove out, the air bag indicator will then flash the 2-digit LFC if a SRS fault exists. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC 5 times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the current and historical DTCs through the DLC, to the diagnostic tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the instrument cluster module to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5 tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair. LFCs are prioritized. If 2 or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides 150 ms of backup power to deploy the front air bags and pretensioners in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately 1 minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

Safety Belt Buckle Switches As part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS), the front safety belt buckles are equipped with safety belt buckle switches. The safety belt buckle switches are comprised of integrated circuits called Hall-effect sensors. The safety belt buckle switches (Hall-effect sensors) are located in the driver and passenger safety belt buckles. The safety belt buckle switches indicate to the restraints control module (RCM) whether the safety belts are connected or disconnected. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the dual-stage driver and passenger air bag modules. The RCM also communicates the driver safety belt buckle switch status to the instrument cluster module, which monitors the information to control the safety belt warning indicator. Refer to WARNING DEVICES for additional information. Safety Belt Buckle Pretensioners - All Vehicles2005 Ford Escape 2005 RESTRAINTS Supplemental Restraint System - Escape & Mariner As part of the SRS, the safety belt buckles are equipped with pretensioners. The safety belt buckle pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioners are activated by the restraints control module (RCM) when the module detects a impact event force exceeding a programmed limit. Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner - Escape Hybrid Only As part of the SRS, the driver safety belt retractor for the Escape Hybrid is equipped with a pretensioner. The pretensioner removes excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioner is activated by the RCM when the module detects an impact event force exceeding a programmed limit. Safety Belt Tension Sensor NOTE: There was a change to the belt tension sensor (BTS) (part of the passenger safety belt retractor assembly) dependent on the vehicle build date. When installing a new passenger safety belt retractor assembly, always make sure the correct passenger safety belt retractor assembly is being installed. The passenger safety belt retractor assemblies are not interchangeable. The safety belt tension sensor: « is part of the front outboard passenger safety belt and retractor assembly « is located at the safety belt anchor point. « is used in conjunction with the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. + is a 3-wire Hall-effect sensor that is part of the front passenger safety belt and retractor assembly. The safety belt tension sensor is used by the OCS system to identify the presence of a child safety seat on the front outboard passenger seat, when the child safety seat is installed according to manufacturer instructions. The safety belt tension sensor senses the tension on the safety belt assembly then provides an output to the OCS system electronic control unit (ECU), indicating that the safety belt assembly is cinched. After sensing the weight applied to the seat by the occupant and using the safety belt tension sensor input, the OCS system determines how the occupant should be classified and communicates this information to the restraints control module (RCM). If the occupant is classified to be a child, the RCM will then automatically deactivate the passenger ait bag module. Seat Track Position Sensor The seat track position sensor is a Hall-effect sensor located on the driver seat track. The seat track position sensor informs the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position, Based on programmed limits, the seat track position sensor will inform the RCM of the driver seat position. The RCM uses this information in determining the deplovment rate of
