WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental
airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its
calibration. The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an impact sensor
is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result
in accidental, incomplete, or improper side SRS component deployment.
NOTE: The front and the third row seating side impact sensors are interchangeable.
1. Position the side impact sensor (2) to the quarter inner panel (1) above the rear wheel housing.
2. Align and insert the anti-rotation pin on the base of the sensor into the clearance hole in the quarter inner panel.
3. Install and tighten the screw (3) that secures the side impact sensor to the quarter inner panel. Tighten the screw to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).
4. Reconnect the body wire harness connector (4) to the side impact sensor on the quarter inner panel.
5. Reinstall the quarter trim panel onto the quarter inner panel..
6. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed
