2012 Escape
I just installed a rebuilt drivers seat belt pretensioner. The airbag and pretensioner are
part of the SRS or Supplemental Restraint System.
Pulling the pretensioner electrical connector turned the airbag light on. I assumed the
light would turn off when I installed the rebuilt pretensioner and plugged-in the connector.
The airbag light did not turn off.
There are many Google listings for this procedure. Does not work with my Escape.
1. Turn ignition switch to "on"position.
2. Wait several seconds for airbag light to turn off.
3. Immediately turn ignition switch to "off" position, before airbag light turns on.
4. Repeat above steps two or three times and start the engine.
Local mechanic suggested disconnecting the battery might reset the airbag light. Didn't work.
What can I do to turn off the airbag light? Maybe I need an OBD-II scanner to reset the codes.
