• Q: How Critical is Proper Orientation for Servicing and Repairing the Front Air Bag Sensor on 2000 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: A well-oriented vehicle sensor position is essential for operating the front crash sensors effectively during service and repair activities. After a collision with an SRS air bag supplemental restraint system vehicle you must examine the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation and you must exchange and correctly position the sensor or any harmed SRS components even if the air bag did not deploy. Any work on front or side air bag SRS components requires the complete deenergization of the back up power through battery cable grounding for a minimum one-minute duration. Disconnection of auxiliary batteries is also necessary for vehicles equipped with such power systems. To conduct this procedure only a replacement replacement part should be installed and the original component must replace the new part in case the problem persists before going through the diagnostic method again. Begin this procedure by disconnecting the ground battery cable followed by waiting one minute before removing the radiator upper sight shield by unhooking its electrical connector and unscrewing the three mounting bolts. The reverse order of removal procedures should be followed to perform installation. Execute proof runs on the air bag system after device installation. Users must remove the restraint system diagnostic tool from cars before driving because it exists only for service and its continued use may result in safety problems and regulatory violations.
