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.
1. Position the side impact sensor (1) to the retractor mounting hole (3) in the inner B-pillar.
2. Reconnect the body wire harness connector (2) to the sensor connector receptacle.
3. Reach through the retractor mounting hole in the inner B-pillar to position and engage the anti-rotation pin and the stud on the side impact sensor
to the locating slot and mounting hole from the inside of the B-pillar.
4. Install and tighten the nut (4) that secures the side impact sensor stud to the inner B-pillar. Tighten the nut to 8 Nm (70 in. lbs.).
5. Reinstall the front outboard seat belt and retractor to the inside of the B-pillar. See: Restraint Systems/Seat Belt Systems/Seat Belt
Retractor/Service and Repair/Seat Belt and Retractor - Installation .
6. 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: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
