2007 Lincoln MKX Air Bag Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Safety glasses should be worn by technicians servicing front impact severity sensors to avoid possible injuries from potential air bag discharges. The vehicle sensor must have proper orientation for correct system operation while a collision history requires bracket and wiring inspection to replace all damaged SRS components whether or not air bags deployed. Memory saver devices should always be avoided because they present risks of personal injury. The RCM fuse removal triggers an air bag warning indicator to light up while the ignition switch is ON yet this condition means there is no SRS fault present. The vehicle must be delivered to customers only after complete SRS validation shows no faults are present. When restoring SRS components, the system must receive a new part before repeating the diagnostic evaluation with the original part in place. Start by disconnecting power before removing the front bumper cover along with taking off the front impact severity sensor electrical connector. The correct performance of the system depends on using 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) of torque for the retaining nuts. Check that the hood latch bracket matches with the sensor mating surfaces properly without any dirt then gaze at the two sensor positioning tabs. Reinstall the sensor along with its bolt according to the removal procedure while powering back the system.
