Impact Sensor: Service and Repair
Side Impact Sensor - C-Pillar
SIDE IMPACT SENSOR - C-PILLAR
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM
is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and
cause serious personal injury or death.
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.

2. Remove the rear seat backrest side bolster.
3. Disconnect the side impact sensor electrical connector.
4. WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque.
Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
Remove the side impact sensor bolt.

To install, tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
5. NOTE:

Note position of the sensor and locating tab for installation.
