2006 Ford Fusion Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Front Air Bag Sensor on 2006 Ford Fusion?

  A: Safety glasses should be used when servicing front impact severity sensors in order to protect against potential injuries that might happen upon air bag activation. A correctly oriented vehicle sensor will ensure proper system operation but sensor replacement and proper sensor positioning must be done for damaged SRS components after inspecting the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for any collision damage. The use of memory saver devices should be avoided as a protective measure against personal injuries. The warning lamp on the air bag functions as it should because the removal of the RCM fuse with the ignition switch ON triggers the lamp illumination. Before returning a vehicle to customers it is essential to verify that the SRS system functions without faults and repairs require a complete new part installation. In cases where the issue continues multiple times replace the original part while redoing the diagnostic process. Start the depowering process before taking out the two retaining bolts and the two pin-type retainers from the upper grille. Technical professionals need to tighten the air bag front impact severity sensor and bracket assembly retaining bolts with an appropriate torque setting of 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Thoroughly clean both mounting surfaces of the radiator support while removing any possible debris before setting the front impact severity sensor bracket assembly into position with attention to its locator tab. Disconnect the electrical connector before removing the front impact severity sensor assembly along with its bracket. Reinstall it following the removal steps and activate system power.
