Town Car V8-4.6L VIN W (1997)
Impact Sensor: Service Precautions
WARNINGS
-
The electrical circuit necessary for system deployment is powered directly from the battery. To avoid accidental deployment and possible
personal injury, the battery ground cable must be disconnected prior to servicing or replacing any system components.
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag system is involved in a crash
where the fenders or grille area have been damaged, inspect the sensor mounting brackets for deformation. If damaged, the sensor should
be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed. In addition, make sure that body structure in the area of sensor mounting is restored
to its original condition.
