Front Impact Sensor
INSPECTION <VEHICLES WITHOUT ADVANCED AIR BAG>
WARNING: If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected, replace with a new sensor.
1. Check the front impact sensor for dents, cracks, deformation or rust.
WARNING: If the resistance value shows short-circuit or open-circuit, be sure to replace the front impact sensor with a new one.
2. Check for short-circuit or open-circuit between the front impact sensor terminals.
When short-circuit: 1 ohm and less
When open-circuit: 1 mega ohm and above
3. Check for continuity between the terminal and the bracket.
If there is continuity, it shows insufficient insulation of the sensor. Replace the sensor with a new one.
4. Check for deformation and rust on the radiator support panel.

WARNING: If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected, replace with a new sensor.
NOTE: For checking of the front impact sensor other than described below, refer to the section concerning SRS diagnosis. See: Testing and Inspection
1. Check the front impact sensor and bracket for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check the connector for damage, and terminals for deformation.
3. Check that there is no bending or corrosion in the radiator support panel.
