Step 2/3: Front Impact Sensor (R.H.)/front Impact Sensor (l.H.) Removal
1. Slide the connector (green section) to release the lock.
2. Push down the pawl, and then disconnect the connector.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
To mount the new front impact sensor, visually check it and measure the resistance between the terminals.
Step 3/2: Front Impact Sensor (L.H.)/front Impact Sensor (R.H.) Installation
1. Securely connect the connector.
2. Set the front impact sensor towards the front of the vehicle as shown by the arrow in the illustration, and install it securely.
CAUTION: The SRS may not activate properly if a front impact sensor is not installed properly, which could result in the SRS system not
operating properly during a collision.
POST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. Does the "SRS" warning light illuminate for about 7 seconds,
turn off and then remain off for at least 45 seconds? If yes, SRS system is functioning properly. If no, consult SRS Warning Light Inspection.
INSPECTION
1. Check upper frame and sensor brackets for deformities or rust.
2. Check sensor harness for binds, connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
3. Check for dents, cracks, deformation or rust of the front impact sensor.
CAUTION: If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected, replace with a new sensor.
4. Measure the resistance between terminals and check whether it is within the standard value.
