2005 Mercury Monterey Air Bag Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Front Air Bag Sensor on 2005 Mercury Monterey?

  A: Safety glasses must be worn during front impact severity sensor servicing to protect against possible injuries that could occur during accidental air bag deployment. The vehicle sensor needs proper alignment to operate correctly. The inspection process following a collision requires examination of sensor mounting brackets together with wiring pigtails for warping then replacing all supplemental restraint system components alongside the sensor when damage occurs. The air bag warning lamp turns on following the removal of the RCM fuse while the ignition switch is set to ON despite no existence of a system error. All vehicles should receive the supplemental restraint system checks before they return to customers to ensure complete operation without faults. The repair process requires new part installation while the diagnostic procedure should be repeated after reinstallation of the original part when the issue fails to resolve. First remove power from the system while disconnecting the electrical connector linking to the front impact severity sensor. The two securing nuts should be removed from the sensor before installation where you should tighten them to 12 Nm (9 lb-in) torque setting. First remove the front impact severity sensor with caution while checking for any debris or dirt on the surfaces that connect to the radiator support. The process completion involves returning to the removal steps followed by system repowering.
