• Q: How to Properly Service and Repair an Air Bag Sensor for Front Impact Severity on 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: The service of the front impact severity sensor requires you to depower the vehicle SRS to stop accidental air bags from deploying. You can reach the sensor by taking out the scrivets along with the header opening panel to access its position at the lower radiator core support beside the hood latch support bracket. Please disconnect the electrical connector before removing the bolts and extracting the front impact severity sensor along with its bracket from the installation position. Make sure both the mounting bracket and sensor mating points have no debris on them before you start installing. Position the locator tabs of the new front impact severity sensor through the holes in its bracket before installing the bolt. Connect the electrical connector afterward install the header opening panel together with scrivets. Repower the SRS system following a complete check for operational readiness and faultlessness before launching the vehicle to the customer. Safety glasses are always necessary during this operation as well as avoiding memory saver devices because they decrease the risk of personal injury. Proceed to reinstall the original part after the new component fails to fix the problem while starting the diagnostic process again.
