Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the Air Bag Sensor in the C-pillar on Lincoln MKZ?
A: Safety glasses should be worn when servicing the side impact sensor inside the C-Pillar to prevent injuries from possible air bag activations. The sensor orientation needs to be checked for correct system performance; inspect for bracket and wire damage if the vehicle experienced a collision because you will need to reinstall the sensor as well as replace any SRS parts regardless of air bag deployment status. Memory saver devices should be avoided to prevent personal injuries. The restraints control module (RCM) fuse removal during an ON ignition state will cause the air bag warning lamp to illuminate but this symptom does not indicate any SRS fault condition. A complete check of the SRS functionality must happen before sending a vehicle back to the customer. Once the repair step involves new component placement but if symptoms continue then return to original hardware and execute diagnostic routines again. First disable the power then detach the rear seat backrest side bolster along with disconnecting the side impact sensor electrical connector. It is essential to achieve proper tightening torque when replacing the air bag side impact sensor retaining bolts because the initial torque setting should reach 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). The position of the sensor along with the locating tab requires careful observation for correct installation. Also verify that both the C-pillar and side impact sensor mating surfaces remain debris-free. The new sensor installation requires following the same removal procedure in reverse order while connecting the system power supply.
Q: How to service the Air Bag Sensor at the C-pillar on Lincoln Navigator?
A: The servicing procedure for C-pillar side impact sensors starts by removing SRS depowering to disable accidental air bag activation. As a first step remove the rear door scuff plate along with separating the rear door weather strip from its mounting points. Winding the safety belt webbing should be checked before breaking down the second row retractor anchor bolt because the 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) torque wrench should be used after reinstallation. To reach the side impact sensor at the C-pillar position and install properly you must pull out the quarter trim panel while carefully remembering the sensor's locating tab position. The C-pillar mating contact points need cleaning from foreign substances before removing the side impact sensor bolt and tightening it to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) while installing it. To remove the sensor disconnect its electrical connector after which you can install a new sensor by performing the removal procedure in reverse order. The SRS repowering process must include tightening all fasteners for the restraints control module along with impact sensors to their specified torque values for proper restraint system operation.
Q: How to service the side impact air bag sensor on Lincoln Town Car?
A: First depower the vehicle SRS system before servicing the side impact sensor. The RCM and impact sensor mounting areas need detailed inspection for any crash-related deformations in vehicles that have been crashed; all restoration must return components to their original design and drivers must install fresh RCM together with new sensors regardless of air bag deployment before conducting any service on these components. Each B-pillar contains its side impact sensor positioned toward the base. The first step requires removing the B-pillar trim panel located at its lower section. Motorists must disconnect the electrical connector prior to removing the side impact sensor with bracket by detaching both bolts securing it. Install the side impact sensor with bracket by placing it correctly and tighten each bolt to 12 Nm (106 lb-in) according to the specified installation sequence. The vehicle release process requires that the electrical connector gets reinstalled followed by lower B-pillar trim panel installation and SRS power-up with a fault-free system examination.
