SIDE IMPACT SENSOR - FRONT DOOR
Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS is involved in a collision,
inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and correctly position the sensor or any other damaged
SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a 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.
