I'm looking for the Airbag control module in my 98 CSVT EO. The one in the 2K models is under the center console, but I can't seem to find this one. My ford CD is telling me that it is under the console but Its not there. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks alot Tony, I've seen that before but never questioned what it was.

Final question The car was in an accident where the airbags deployed, am I required to change the diagnostic module, or is that just a "to be on the safe side" thing? I was planning on replacing it but now it looks like I don't have the correct module.

you should only have to replace it if your getting the airbag light and giving a code. yes you ssould replace it since the bags deployed the module will be full and need replaced
 
What airbag code(s) or beep(s) are you getting?

Edit. From 1996 Ford CD,
"Air bag diagnostic monitors can withstand several air bag deployments and do not need to be replaced after every deployment. Only replace the air bag diagnostic monitor if it is damaged."
