2006 Mercury Grand Marquis Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How Should the Side Impact Air Bag Sensor Be Serviced to Ensure Safety and Proper Function on 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: Service personnel should use safety glasses when working on side impact sensors to protect themselves against unexpected air bag deployment while also omitting memory saver devices from use. The correct placement of all SRS components in their proper orientation depends on vehicle sensor orientation for system functionality. After collisions inspect both the sensor bracket and wiring pigtail for any deformations and perform replacements including sensor or component realignment when air bag deployment occurs or not. When clearing the RCM fuse while the ignition is on the air bag warning lamp may turn on but this condition does not signify an SRS defect. Complete testing of SRS functionality must show no faults before giving the car back to customers. The repair process involves putting in new parts yet if the problem stays unchanged the original components will need to be reinstalled alongside another test of the diagnostic equipment. First disable system power before taking off scuff plates from front and rear doors and pulling weather stripping from the B-pillar to remove the lower B-pillar trim panel by releasing retaining clips. Disassembly requires opening the electrical connector and unfastening the bolts according to the exact order for the removal of the side impact sensor with bracket. Install the side impact sensor by torquing its retaining bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) according to the precise installation order. After placing the side impact sensor with bracket follow these steps: tighten the bolts then reinstall the electrical connector before you put the lower B-pillar trim panel into position and re-attach the weather stripping to complete the installation by reinstalling the scuff plates before starting the electrical system.
