2007 Ford Focus Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The service of front impact severity sensors requires protective safety glasses because accidental air bag launches can cause eye injuries. The vehicle sensor needs proper alignment to operate correctly while a collision inspection must be performed on sensor hardware components to replace any deformed parts regardless of air bag deployment. Memory saver devices should not be used since they create personal injury risks. The air bag warning lamp will light up when both the RCM fuse comes off while the ignition switch turns ON. This occurrence indicates a normal state without any issues in the supplemental restraint system devices. The vehicle must be released only after the SRS passes both operational and faultless tests. Any repair requires the installation of fresh components while recurring issues necessitate exchanging with original components followed by exam of the diagnostic process. The procedure starts with system de powering followed by the removal of right-hand bracket retaining bolts securing the radiator support bracket and lowering the radiator right side while reinstalling the bolts at 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque. Afterward remove the pin-type retainers and the radiator air deflector where you must keep the front impact severity sensor locator tabs in mind for correct assembly. First tighten the front impact severity sensor bolts within the radiator grille opening panel to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) before reinstalling them. First disconnect the front impact severity sensor electrical connector before following the previous removal steps for installation alongside system repowering.
