Q: How to Ensure Air Bag Safety and Functionality After a Collision on a Lincoln Navigator?
A: It is vital to inspect and fix the supplemental restraint system (SRS) after a collision especially when the driver air bag or passenger air bag or seat side air bag or safety belt pretensioner deployable devices have activated or the restraint control module (RCM) displays the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1231 (Crash Data Memory Full). Service of SRS requires tool-based diagnostic tools that must deactivate the system. When reactivating the system diagnostic tools need removal before reattaching air bag modules to achieve proper deployment for future car accidents which prevents accidental harm. Discard the existing bolts from the driver air bag module and replace them with new installation bolts while considering that early build vehicles might have shorter bolts than the replacement service bolts. Always confirm the SRS system has no faults or operational issues before releasing a vehicle after completing any diagnostic work to this system. The repair procedure starts with deploying device removal then follows with device installation and impact sensor replacement and potential RCM replacement. Repair or replacement should be conducted for impact sensor mounting points and hardware that displays damage. The replacement of a new Clock Spring becomes necessary when the driver air bag module gets deployed. A detailed examination of the vehicle should include inspections from the steering column to instrument panel knee bolsters as well as their mounting points to the instrument panel braces and brackets and both instrument panel areas and their attachment points to the seats and seat mounts to safety belts and buckles and retractors and to all components of SRS wiring, harnesses, and connectors. The inspection ends with replacements of necessary damaged components after a thorough examination.
Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the passenger air bag module on Lincoln MKZ?
A: Safety glasses must be worn for servicing the passenger air bag module to avoid injuries that could occur from accidental deployment. The live air bag module must be handled with deployment door and air bag sections pointing away from your body while keeping the deployment door permanently angled upward. It is important to use soapy water and clean hands after deployment because sodium hydroxide has settled on your skin. Do not probe the connectors on the air bag module because it could accidentally activate it and replace all air bag modules with damaged or discolored deployment doors instead of resurfacing them. Memory saver devices should never be used and disabling the restraints control module (RCM) fuse when the ignition switch is ON will help prevent error codes. The first step includes depowering the system while opening the glove compartment to release the door dampener cable and lowering the door. Free the instrument panel end panel from its location and detach the five right-hand instrument panel trim panel nuts which exist within the instrument panel. The operator must pull the right-hand trim panel away from the clips until it releases then extract it. Reach inside the glove compartment opening to extract the two bolts from the passenger air bag module and free the deployment door clips by avoiding contact with the edges of the deployment door. You must use a small screwdriver to push the locking buttons on the electrical connectors but should never tug on these connectors through their buttons because this may cause damage. When attaching electrical connectors maintain a released position of the locking buttons while matching the key element to the keyway structure inside the passenger air bag module. The passenger air bag module must be installed into the instrument panel using both bolts which require 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque before reinstalling the right-hand trim panel and its five nuts as well as the instrument panel end panel. The door dampener cable should be reinstalled after closing the glove compartment door while powering up the system.
Q: What checklist should be completed to ensure the proper functioning of the air bag system after diagnosis or repair on Lincoln Town Car?
A: The air bag system needs proper functioning so conduct this safety check after every diagnosis and repair: check for connection of the three-way connector under the steering column, verify the air bag module connections, inspect the Restraints Control Module connection and verify all side crash sensors and vehicle battery connections.
