• Q: How to Safely Remove and Replace the Side Impact Air Bag Sensor on 2002 Ford Focus?

  A: Safety glasses must be worn when working on the side impact sensor to protect against potential injuries from unexpected air bag deployment. Memory saver devices should never be used because they increase the possibility of personal injuries. All seat repair operations on vehicle models with side air bags or pretensioners need the Supplemental Restraint System to be powered down. The RCM fuse removal combined with a turned ON ignition key will cause the air bag warning lamp to activate yet this scenario does not imply an SRS fault exists. Final test the SRS system for operation and fault-free status before proceeding with vehicle delivery to customers. Service teams should start the process by disabling the SRS then move to taking out the front seat before working on both front and rear scuff plates. You should detach the flooring that rests on the floor panel and disconnect the side impact sensor electrical connector when preparing to extract the side impact sensor. When installing the impact sensor users should note that the part lacks left-hand or right-hand identity; perform the reverse steps of removal to repower the SRS system.
