2006 Ford Mustang Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing the passenger air bag module on 2006 Ford Mustang?

  A: Wear safety glasses at all times during passenger air bag module servicing to protect from possible air bag deployment injuries. The live air bag module should be handled with the deployment door facing away from your body and set on a stable surface with the deployment door pointing up. Pay close attention to hand hygiene after deployment because the sodium hydroxide residue can bother your skin. Use soapy water for your handwash. Touching the air bag module connectors will trigger accidental deployment thus avoid it and keep discolored or damaged deployment doors from being repainted because they need new modules instead. Memory saver devices create increased risks of personal injury thus must be avoided completely. When RCM fuse removal occurs during the ON state of the ignition switch the air bag warning lamp automatically activates unless you encounter a SRS defect. All SRS systems must operate without defects before the vehicle receives its release. The process to remove the passenger air bag module involves deenergizing the system first and afterward disconnecting the electrical connector then removing the two bolts securing the module while tightening these bolts to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) during reinstallation. Remove the module by carefully unclipping deployment door clips which are found on six upper points and six lower points and two locations on each side from the instrument panel. After installation you should wait until you seat all deployment door clips properly within the instrument panel before you activate the system power.
