Impact Sensor: Service Precautions
WARNING:
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the
sensor or any other damaged supplemental restraint system components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing
any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components
near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
