Impact Sensor: Service and Repair
Front Impact Severity Sensor
FRONT IMPACT SEVERITY SENSOR
Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for
deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed
whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
1. Depower the SRS.
2. Remove the 6 retainers and the radiator upper air deflector.
