1. Position the side impact sensor (2) onto the inner B-pillar (1). Be certain that the anti-rotation pin on the back of the sensor is engaged in the
clearance hole of the B-pillar.
2. Install and tighten the two screws (3) that secure the sensor to the inner B-pillar. Tighten the screws to 6.5 Nm (60 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the body wire harness connector (4) to the sensor connector receptacle.
4. Reinstall the lower trim onto the inside of the B-pillar.
5. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any supplemental restraint system component.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system. 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 curtain supplemental restraints. 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 front supplemental restraint deployment.
