    If you plan to work on your airbag system, exercise extreme caution. Personal injury may result if you accidentally deploy an air bag. The airbag system is live all of the time - it is not switched on and off by the key. There are also backup power supplies. The 1992+ systems will discharge in about one minute after disconnecting the battery.

    Never attach a self-powered test light to any part of an airbag system. If you want to work on the system, acquire and review a manual that covers servicing of the system. Examples are the Air Bag System Diagnosis training manual from Ford, as well as the shop manuals from Helm.
