Not sure on yours but mines under the centre console between the handbrake and gear lever. To help its also called the Airbag Control Module. I wouldnt go taking it out though on a 1 year old car. Take it to the dealership it should be covered under warranty

why send it away to have it cleared just get ford to reset it under warrenty.

Thanks for the offer but i has tried my mates garage and won't clear fault code which is B1231 longitudual acceleration threshold exceeded. The only way is a new ecu or send it away.

As far as i know you can't clear that code (it's also stored in the gem if i remember correctly) , anyway we can normally tell if it's been in a bump , unless you managed to get it repaired by one of the very few repairers that are excellent.
