• Q: How to Service and Repair the Front Door Air Bag Sensor on 2009 Ford Flex?

  A: At the beginning of side impact sensor front door service and repair start with an inspection to confirm no crash history exists before inspecting the restraints control module and impact sensor mounting areas for deformation and restoring to factory condition if needed. Additionally, a new RCM and sensors must be installed as a preventive measure against serious injuries or fatalities in the future. The installation of new RCM and sensors will be required as a matter of safety before a new model enters production and for non-deployed air bags to prevent potential death or serious harm in case of a car accident. The air bag warning indicator will turn on when removing the correct RCM fuse during the ON ignition stage. The next step requires disabling power to the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Before installation begin by taking out the front door trim panel and disconnecting the side impact sensor electrical connector. You need to take out the side impact sensor after unfastening its two screws. Security of the sensor depends on gently tightening the side impact sensor bolts until they securely hold the sensor in its proper position. Check the insert nut for damage while replacing it with an entirely new insert when necessary. The final stage includes reversing all removal steps while using the SRS power supply to test the Supplemental Restraint System until it functions without errors before handing over the vehicle to the customer.
