What precautions should be taken when servicing the side air bag module on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

Question

Accepted Answer

Wear protective eye gears when dealing with side air bag modules to avoid severe injuries. Keep live air bag modules pointing at the trim cover, deployment door, or tear seam while handling them by avoiding contact with the body. Never put an air bag module on its face during handling. Unsafe conditions emerged when the seat side air bag cover shows damage or the air bag material becomes visible so you must replace the entire seat side air bag module instead of performing repairs to prevent serious injury or death. The front seat backrest trim covers on seats with side air bags need a new installation whenever replacement becomes necessary yet the cleaning process remains allowed. When operating the restraints control module (RCM) fuse by removing it while the ignition switch is ON the air bag warning indicator will automatically turn on without causing any system faults. A vehicle must return to the customer only after confirming that the SRS functions properly and free of detected faults. The seat backrest frame repair becomes necessary when you replace the seat backrest pad together with the trim cover and side air bag module after side air bag deployment. The process to remove the side air bag module begins with moving an affected seat both forward then up before disconnecting power from the SRS system and unclipping the backrest trim cover J-clips and unzipping the deployment chute to finally remove the side air bag module nuts. To reach the module unscrew the seat backrest trim cover along with its pad to move them forward. Then remove the module by disconnecting its electrical cable. A complete foreign material check of the seat side air bag module cavity needs to happen before proceeding with installation. After connecting the side air bag module electrical connector check the module for damage and the mounting surfaces while installing new necessary components. Install the side air bag module onto its mounting bracket before installing retaining nuts which should be tightened to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Check that the deployment chute remains unharmed while properly placed between the seat backrest pad and trim cover. Secure the air bag deployment chute by zipping it around the side air bag module while making sure it entirely encloses the module yet does not hide its top or bottom sections. Use the provided seat backrest trim cover J-clips to begin with the pairs at the sides then use the bottom J-clip before powering the SRS system.
