  Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Front Air Bag Sensor on Mercury Monterey?

  A:

  Safety glasses must be worn during front impact severity sensor servicing to protect against possible injuries that could occur during accidental air bag deployment. The vehicle sensor needs proper alignment to operate correctly. The inspection process following a collision requires examination of sensor mounting brackets together with wiring pigtails for warping then replacing all supplemental restraint system components alongside the sensor when damage occurs. The air bag warning lamp turns on following the removal of the RCM fuse while the Ignition Switch is set to ON despite no existence of a system error. All vehicles should receive the supplemental restraint system checks before they return to customers to ensure complete operation without faults. The repair process requires new part installation while the diagnostic procedure should be repeated after reinstallation of the original part when the issue fails to resolve. First remove power from the system while disconnecting the electrical connector linking to the front impact severity sensor. The two securing nuts should be removed from the sensor before installation where you should tighten them to 12 Nm (9 lb-in) torque setting. First remove the front impact severity sensor with caution while checking for any debris or dirt on the surfaces that connect to the radiator support. The process completion involves returning to the removal steps followed by system repowering.
• Side Impact Sensor

  Q: How to service the Air Bag Sensor at the C-pillar on the left-hand side on Mercury Monterey?

  A:

  During the servicing of the side impact sensor at the C-pillar through the left-hand side you need to use safety glasses for protection against air bag activation and keep memory saver devices off. While the ignition switch is switched to ON the restraints control module (RCM) fuse removal will activate the air bag warning lamp yet this means no issue exists within the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Go through all necessary procedures of the SRS until you confirm it operates safely and has no faults before returning the vehicle to customers. Post-repair inspections demand new part installation and require original part re-installation accompanied by another diagnostic procedure. First depower the system before removing the rear door scuff plate and safety belt anchor bolt installation should be tightened to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). The side impact sensor becomes accessible by slowly removing the quarter trim panel at the C-pillar while releasing all retaining clips howdles before separating the weather strip at the quarter trim panel. Detach the speaker nut and bolt before removing the electrical connector and reducing the speaker deteriorates. Remove the side impact sensor electrical connector and unfasten its two securing bolts by tightening them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) upon reinstallation. Proceed with caution to extract the side impact sensor while also maintaining the safety belt webbing untwisted before turning the installation sequence backward. To complete the task you must repower the system and verify that the active restraint system operates properly.
