Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
IMPACT SENSORS
WARNING:
-
The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in which the vehicle center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect
the RCM mounting area for deformation. If damaged, the RCM must be replaced whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition,
make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
-
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 (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
The RCM incorporates integral sensors that are not separately serviceable. All vehicles will have a front impact severity sensor located on the hood latch
support bracket. The RCM is mounted on the center tunnel between the front seats. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact
sensors.
