Journey FWD V6-3.5L (2009)
NOTE: Be certain that the gasket between the pressure-type side impact sensor and the front door module carrier panel is in good condition
and positioned on the back of the sensor. There MUST be a good seal between the sensor and the module carrier panel for the sensor
to operate properly. If the gasket is in poor condition, replace the sensor.
1. Position the side impact sensor (1) to the right or left front door module carrier panel (4). When the sensor is correctly positioned, the arrow on the
sensor label will be pointed toward the bottom of the door.
2. Install and tighten the two screws (2) that secure the side impact sensor to the door. Tighten the screws to 2.4 Nm (21 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the front door wire harness connector (3) to the sensor connector receptacle.
4. Reinstall the trim panel onto the inside of the right or left front door. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door
Panel/Service and Repair/Front Door Trim Panel - Installation.
5. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any SRS component. See: Service and Repair.

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 second or third row seating side impact sensors are interchangeable.
