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

  A: Safety glasses must be worn when servicing front impact severity sensors to protect from possible air bag deployments that could cause injury. Proper system operation requires a correct sensor orientation while inspection and replacement operations on the sensor and any supplemental restraint system components follow if the vehicle experienced a collision regardless of air bag deployment. Memory saver devices must be avoided to prevent personal injuries. When both the ignition switch is ON and the RCM fuse is removed the air bag warning lamp will turn on automatically without indicating any faulty conditions of the supplemental restraint system. Check that both the SRS system and the supplementary restraint system components lack defects before giving the vehicle to the owner. The repair procedure requires installing a new component for the first attempt before re-installing the original part followed by another diagnostic evaluation. Depower the system and extract the retainers together with the radiator upper air deflector from the system. After disconnecting the electrical cable you should remove the front impact severity sensor bolt while maintaining thorough cleanliness on its mating surfaces. The proper installation requires that you remember where the locator tabs should be positioned. The procedure for new sensor installation includes fastening the retaining bolt at 10 Nm (89 lb-in) while you proceed with the reverse steps to power up the system.
