Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Pump (FP) shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.
The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shut off the FP module.
Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by resetting the IFS switch located behind the RH cowl trim panel.
