Vehicle With Side Air Bags

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For these vehicles, the SRS employs 5 impact sensors. One of the sensors is integral to the RCM and is not separately serviceable. The RCM is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument panel. There are 2 front impact severity sensors located in the front-center of the vehicle, behind the grille. In addition, there are 2 side impact sensors. The side impact sensors are located at the base of each B-pillar below the safety belt retractor and pretensioner. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
