How to Service the Air Bag Sensor in the C-Pillar on Lincoln MKZ?

The first step for servicing the side impact sensor at C-pillar necessitates depowering the supplemental restraint system SRS. You must first detach the rear seat backrest side bolster then cut the electrical connection from the side impact sensor. The restraint system can operate safely only if RCM fasteners and impact sensor tightness follow manufacturer specifications. The installation of the side impact sensor requires tightening the securing bolt to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Make a mental note of both the sensor placement and the locating tab because they will aid correct installation while checking that both C-pillar and side impact sensor mating surfaces stay debris-free. Complete the sensor removal process by reinstalling the side impact sensor and then activate the SRS system power. A vehicle must not go to customers until the SRS shows complete functionality and lacks any issues. The diagnostic method should be repeated after putting back the original part when the new component fails to fix the problem.

What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Front Air Bag Sensor on Lincoln MKZ?

Security glasses serve as a protective measure during front impact severity sensor servicing because they help prevent injuries occurring when air bags activate unexpectedly. The vehicle sensor needs correct orientation to work as intended while you must inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail to check for deforming after collision before sensor installation or repair of SRS components. The use of memory saver devices should be avoided because they increase personal injury risks during servicing. The air bag warning indicator will activate whenever you remove the restraints control module (RCM) fuse while the ignition switch is ON but this operating condition does not signify a problem. Before the customer takes possession of the vehicle the SRS system must work properly without defects then repair by using newly installed components or by restoring the original parts when the issue reoccurs to perform another diagnostic test. The process starts with depowering the system before customers remove the 2 bolts and 2 pin-type retainers from the upper grille. The system needs proper torque settings for all air bag front impact severity sensor and bracket assembly retaining bolts combined with clean radiator support surfaces at all times. During removal operations check the location of the locator tab which belongs to the front impact severity sensor and bracket assembly. The process of front impact severity sensor and bracket assembly removal starts by advancing the upper grille slightly while removing its two mounting bolts before disconnecting the electrical connection and taking out the assembly. Reinstall the bolts starting by tightening them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) torque level before activating system power.
