• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Front Air Bag Sensor on 2007 Ford E-150?

  A: Safety glasses must be worn whenever servicing the front impact severity sensor because they reduce the odds of sustaining injury from air bags releasing unintentionally. Steer the vehicle sensor properly to enable correct system operation then examine the sensor bracket together with the wiring pigtail for evidence of damage after collision before replacing either component and all SRS damaged parts whether or not the air bag deployed. Memory saver devices should never be used since they create personal injury dangers. When the RCM fuse escapes during an ignition switch ON state the warning lamp activates normally whereas no SRS fault exists. The SRS needs to operate without issues before returning the vehicle to customers since new components should replace the faulty parts until the problem continues to require reinstalling the original parts while rechecking the SRS operational state. First disable the engine system before removing the radiator grille through top screws removal and gentle forward pull to free the lower clips. Unplug the electrical connector of the front impact severity sensor before dropping the front air foil to reach the sensor bolts. The correct operation of the air bag front impact severity sensor requires precise tightening torque on its retaining bolts with thorough cleaning for all mating surfaces between the sensor and radiator support. You must remove the two bolts together with the front impact severity sensor before installing the new sensor while tightening the bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). After finishing all steps the technician should repower the system through the reverse process.
