• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Side Impact Air Bag Sensor to Ensure Safety and Proper Operation on 2005 Ford Mustang?

  A: Safety glasses with protective features should be worn by technicians for side impact sensor servicing because they protect against possible injuries from unintentional air bag deployment. The vehicle sensor must be properly positioned to achieve correct system function; inspect the sensor bracket and wiring connections for any damage after crashes since all supplemental restraint system components need replacement before operation even if air bags deployed. The use of memory saver devices carries too much personal injury risk therefore avoid implementation at any time. Noise from the air bag warning lamp occurs when the RCM fuse is pulled during ON ignition mode yet this does not signal malfunctions in the supplemental restraint system. The vehicle must release only when you verify that the SRS works correctly and shows no faulty indications. The proper solution for repairs involves using new parts; however if the problem persists then the original equipment needs reinstallation with a repeated diagnostic process. Start by disconnecting power followed by removing the door scuff plate then setting back the carpet before unplugging the side impact sensor electric connection. Proper side impact sensor bolt torque plays a vital role in system operations which requires you to clean mating areas of debris before installation while noting the locations of retaining tabs. People should remove the bolt and the side impact sensor first and then install the new sensor which needs a 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) torque setting before proceeding with the uninstallation steps before switching on the power system.
