2007 Mercury Monterey Air Bag Sensor Parts Q&A

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

  A: Safety glasses should be worn at all times during service of the front impact severity sensor to protect against possible deployment-related injuries. Proper operation of the system requires the vehicle sensor to maintain correct orientation. It is mandatory to inspect the sensor bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation after a crash event before you replace or repose the sensor alongside all damaged supplemental restraint system parts regardless of air bag deployment. When the restraints control module fuse is detached while the ignition switch shows the ON position the air bag warning lamp lights up normally despite the absence of any fault. A vehicle cannot return to the customer until the supplemental restraint system operates with no faults present. The correct repair method consists of adding a new component; the diagnostic procedure needs to be repeated when the same issue occurs after reinstalling the original part. The first step involves turning off the system power followed by disconnecting the electrical connector of the front impact severity sensor. You should remove the two retaining nuts while making sure they reach 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) torque before reinstallation. The front impact severity sensor must be carefully taken out while checking both the radiator support and sensor mating components for cleanliness and absence of debris. The installation process ends after reversing the removal procedure and restarting the system power.
