2007 Ford Edge Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the Air Bag Sensor at the C-pillar on 2007 Ford Edge?

  A: Safety glasses should always be worn when servicing the side impact sensor at the C-pillar to prevent accidental air bag deployment injuries. Check that the vehicle sensors are oriented correctly for system functionality then inspect the sensor bracket as well as wiring pigtail for deformation when the car experienced a collision. Finally, install or move the sensor and replace any SRS components which show damage. Memory saver devices should not be employed because they increase risks of personal injuries and endangerment. The RCM fuse removal enables the air bag warning indicator to illuminate with the ignition switch ON while in normal conditions there is no faulty issue. A vehicle cannot be returned to customers until the SRS shows no faults along with full operational readiness. Breakdown treatments involve replacing the problematic component yet problems with the same component require original part reinstallation followed by performing the diagnostic test a second time. Fold down the rear seat backrest while depowering the system. To reach the side impact sensor you should pull the quarter trim panel from the C-pillar opening for access. The electrical connector needs detachment from the sensor while keeping track of the two locating tabs for their correct placement during reinstallation. You must thoroughly clean both mating surfaces on the C-pillar and side impact sensor before uninstalling the retaining bolt and sensor. After mounting the retaining bolt tightly to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) follow the removal steps in reverse order to power up the system.
