Impact Sensor: Procedures
FRONT IMPACT SEVERITY SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
WARNING: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 correct RCM fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE:The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Depower the SRS. See See: Air Bag Systems/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Depowering And Repowering.
2. Disconnect the front impact severity sensor electrical connector.
3. Remove the nut and front impact severity sensor.

so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:Make sure the radiator support and front impact severity sensor mating surfaces are clean and free of foreign material.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
5. Repower the SRS. See See: Air Bag Systems/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
