2007 Ford Ranger Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Security glasses must be worn by service technicians when working with front impact severity sensors to protect them from potential injuries associated with accidental air bag deployment. Execute proper sensor orientation before system operation and check the mounting bracket as well as wiring pigtail after accidents to replace all SRS components even when air bags do not deploy. Proper sensor operation depends on tightening the retaining bolts for the air bag front impact severity sensor to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Memory saver devices should not be used to prevent personal injuries. A warning lamp activates on the dashboard when removing the restraints control module (RCM) fuse during ignition switch ON but this situation does not signify an System Constraint or Supplemental Restraint System fault. Complete operational testing for SRS systems must be completed before you put the vehicle on the market. The diagnostic process should be repeated by reattaching the original part if the issue remains after new part installation. The system power needs to be switched off first and then you should remove the air cleaner and air cleaner outlet pipe for vehicles with 2.3L engines and air conditioning. Clean the sensor mating surfaces on the radiator support while checking the locator tab position on the sensor bracket for later reinstallment. The repair process starts with disconnecting the sensor electrical connector followed by sensor removal and then sensor installation after which the system receives power.
