• Q: How to service and repair the Air Bag Control Module on 2009 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first step when fixing an Air Bag Control Module starts with checking Restraints Control Module (RCM) along with impact sensor mounting areas for crash-related deformation; careful restoration of all damaged parts and new RCM and sensor installation is required because air bag deployment does not matter to stop serious injuries or fatalities. The RCM and impact sensor must always receive necessary torques according to specifications for their proper operation. After depowering the Supplemental Restraint System you can remove the carpet patch and ashtray through tab release and cigarette lighter disconnection and wire harness detachment. After removing the screws which secure the ashtray bracket the installer will find access to the RCM. Begin by removing the RCM insulator after which the RCM bolt fasteners on the right-hand side must be removed before separating both large and small RCM electrical connectors. Place the RCM into the required position then fasten the right-side bolts to 12 Nm (106 lb-in) before joining the small RCM electrical connector and screwing in the left-side bolt until it reaches 12 Nm (106 lb-in). Connect the connector position assurance lever reaches its full back position before connecting the large RCM electrical connector by aligning it correctly to prevent damage. Slightly push the connector during installation until you hear an audible click followed by securing it with the pivot connector position assurance lever. Install the insulator on the top of the RCM followed by torquing in the ashtray bracket screws and installing the ashtray with wire harness connected to the cigarette lighter To finish the procedure replace the carpet section followed by activating the SRS system power once again.
