Impact Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For these vehicles, the SRS  employs 7 impact sensors. One of the sensors is integral to the RCM  and is not separately serviceable. The RCM  is mounted on the center tunnel between the front seats. There are 2 front impact severity sensors located in the front-center of the vehicle, behind the grille. In addition, there are 4 side impact sensors. The first row side impact sensors are located on or near the base of the B-pillar, the second row side sensors are located on or near the base of the C-pillar. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.

The side impact sensors are not interchangeable.
