Diagnostic Test Modes Without Scan Tool
Two mode options are available under the diagnostic test modes:

• user mode.
• diagnosis mode.

The ignition switch is used to alternate from one mode to another.
Diagnosis Mode
The diagnosis mode will display any fault present in the system. The SRS will not enter diagnosis mode if no malfunction is detected.
User Mode to Diagnosis Mode
NOTE: The SRS will not enter diagnosis mode if no fault is detected in user mode.

1. Ignition switch to ON.

1. After the air bag warning indicator lights for seven seconds, set ignition switch to OFF within one second.

1. Wait more than three seconds.

1. Repeat steps 1 through 3 three times.

1. Ignition switch to ON.

Diagnosis Mode to User Mode — After Repair

1. Ignition switch to OFF for at least one second.

1. Ignition switch to ON.

Diagnosis Mode to User Mode — During Diagnosis
NOTE: If switch from Diagnosis Mode to User Mode is required while diagnosing a fault, carry out the following procedure.

1. Ignition switch to ON.

1. After the air bag warning indicator lights for seven seconds, set ignition switch to OFF within one second.

1. Wait more than three seconds.

1. Repeat steps 1 through 3 three times.

1. Ignition switch to ON.

Clearing Lamp Fault Codes
NOTE: Lamp fault codes must be cleared from memory before proving out the system.
NOTE: When a new RCM is installed, the air bag warning indicator will operate in user mode. Switching to diagnosis mode is not required.
To clear lamp fault codes after a repair, carry out the procedure to switch from diagnosis mode to user mode. Once in the user mode, the lamp fault codes will be cleared from memory.
Lamp Fault Codes
If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a current fault, the fault code will be displayed with a flashing sequence of the air bag indicator. The fault code consists of:

• A start signal to indicate the beginning of a fault code.
• A number of flashes indicating the particular code that has been set.

The start signal:

• begins with two seconds off.
• two seconds on.
• off.
• one second on.
• two seconds off.

Following the start signal, if any current fault is detected, the fault code will be displayed. The fault code:

• is a series of half second flashes of the air bag indicator.
• is followed by the start signal.

The start signal and the code for any current fault will repeat until the ignition is switched off or the air bag diagnostic monitor is switched to the user mode.
Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by checking the air bag indicator in the instrument cluster. Refer to Prove Out in this section.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage using the following chart.

Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical

• Damaged air bag diagnostic monitor bracket

• Open fuse
• Damaged wiring harness
• Loose or corroded connectors
• Circuitry open or shorted
• Damaged shorting bars

1. If the concern is not visually evident, enter the system Diagnosis Mode.

1. If no DTCs are displayed in the Diagnosis Mode, proceed to the Symptom Chart in this section.

1. If DTCs are retrieved, proceed to the Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor Fault Code Table in this section.

Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor Fault Code Table Code Component/Fault Description 0 Normal Operation/No Fault Detected 1 Front Passenger Safety Belt Pretensioner 2 Driver Air Bag Module Circuit Is Faulted 3 Front Driver Safety Belt Pretensioner 7 Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor Fault 8 Passenger Air Bag Module Circuit Fault 9 Low Battery Voltage

not an interference motor. change the timing belt to fix.

Just be sure it's not the fuel pump or distributor first.

Check for brown dust under distributor cap & rotor. If yes, replace distributor. Ebay for part.

Jumper the low pressure switch , then try charging it again, remve jumper when done.

Have you loked in the rear qtr panel they have little door 12x12/ Please rate my response thank you very much

possibly the bearing is going inside your distributor. see htis site for photos & files

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/villagerquest/

no, clean the 2 elements on your MAF sensor with carb cleaner and a tooth brush gently. you are running lean.

Go to this site for repair files & photos.

does your villager have check engine light on? If you do I suggest to buy a "Actron Scanner" you can get that cheap online. If you have the OBD code you can research more detail.
My 98 villager usually stops running when it was very cold. After I changed sparks plugs and radiator flush it doing better. How is the temperature meeter? If it is very low always, change the thermostat.

You have an air pocket in the cooling system. To bled it out you will have to park vehicle on an incline or jack up the front end untill the radiator cap is higher than the heater core. The remove radiator cap and run engine until warm then hold rpm to about 1200 rpm's and top off coolant level until you have no more bubbles.

check fuses first.

check brake switch which cuts off cruise when you step on brake.

Does the light come on the switch when you turn cruise control on?

I suspect the fuel line injector cross over tube is leaking. see this site for repair procedures

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/villagerquest/

you need to clean the MAF sensor in the air cleaner tube and the throttle body and idle air control.

See this site in "files" for procedures

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/villagerquest/

it sounds like you plugged your injecters put some STP gas treatment with injecter cleaner into the gas tank with at least a half a tank of gas and then finish filling it up and if this helps also replace the fuel filter

Yes the idle air control motor controls the idle basically it is a meetered vacuum leak

I have used the Haynes Repair Manual for the Mercury Villager to change the timing belt on my 1993 Villager, twice. I just finished last night with the latest change. I found the Haynes manual to be very useful. This is just an overview:
1. Jack up the the van and support it on jack stands. Remove the front passenger side wheel and 2 plastic splash sheilds.
2. Remove the two radiator hoses on the passenger side of the engine.
3. Remove the pulley from the water pump (4x 10mm bolts)
4. Remove the tensioner pulley, including the bracket, for the A/C compressor. (3x 12 mm bolts)
This one can be difficult because it requires a torx head to loosen the pulley and it's a very tight fit to get a torx in there. I ended up taking the torx head out of the socket then turning it with a 10mm wrench.
5. Remove all 3 drive belts.
6. Remove the crankshaft pulley. (1-1/16" bolt) You will need a good strap wrench to keep the pulley from turning or an impact to remove this bolt. You may be able to remove the pulley just by bumping it with a mallet, but you may need a gear puller.
7. Remove the timing belt cover, it has an upper and lower half and is held in place by several 8mm screws.
8. You will find that the timing belt pulleys on the both cam shafts and the crank shaft have a white paint mark on one tooth. Make sure the marks on the two cam shaft pulleys are in line with a "bump" mark on the back plate of the belt cover. The bump mark for the front cam is located at about the 2 o'clock position and the one for the rear cam is at about the 10 o'clock position. You will need a mirror and flashlight to see this one.
The crankshaft pulley mark lines up with a notch in the oil pan (I think it's the oil pan where the notch is, but you will see it at near the 6 o'clock postion.
9. My new timing belt was a DAYCO and it came with a good instruction sheet. The new belt has an arrow that should point AWAY from the engine. There are also 3 lines on the new belt that will line up with the lines on the timing belt pulleys.
10. The belt tension should be adjusted so that you get about 0.5" - 0.6" of deflection at the center between the two cam shafts.
Note: I recommend replacing both the tensioning pulley and water pump while you are in there.
A water pump is about $32 and the tensioning pulley is about $35 but it's money well spent.
I did NOT replace the tensioner pulley the last time I changed the timing belt, and that is what failed this time. I could have saved myself a lot of work if I had replaced the pulley the first time.

Hope this helps. I'd still buy the HAYNES manual.

relay maybe

most likely spot is under the dash where the fan motor is

could be fuel pressure regulator on fuel rail. villager quest groups.io

You have a Parasitic battery drain, check at night for interior lights that may be staying on, check the sun visors for sure.
