2006 Ford Mustang Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Side Impact Air Bag Sensor on 2006 Ford Mustang?

  A: Safety glasses must be worn during side impact sensor service because they protect users from possible air bag activation injuries. Make sure to align the vehicle sensor correctly to allow correct system functioning. A collision requires inspection of the sensor mounting bracket along with the wiring pigtail for any deformation before replacing and correctly situating the sensor orhipster restraint system components which show damage independent of whether air bags deployed. The practice of using memory saver devices should be avoided because it poses risks of personal injury. A warning light will appear on the air bag indicator when the RCM fuse is disconnected from an ON ignition position but this behavior indicates no faults exist. A vehicle cannot be handed over to its customer until the supplemental restraint system achieves complete operational functionality without faults. Vehicle repair requires the installation of fresh hardware components yet the original equipment needs replacement only after failed attempts to resolve the problem through the diagnostic steps. The technician needs to start by turning off power to the system and taking away the scuff plate from the door then relocating the carpet. Before installing the side impact sensor electrical connector one must clean and decontaminate both mating surfaces. Mark the sensor locating tabs of the sensor before you detach the bolt and remove the side impact sensor. To install the part the retaining bolt needs to be tightened to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) and follow the removal steps in reverse order before enabling system power.
