1. Position the right or left front impact sensor (1) into the engine compartment.
2. Reconnect the headlamp and dash wire harness connector (3) to the sensor connector receptacle.
3. Carefully position the sensor onto the back of the right or left radiator support vertical member (4). Be certain that the anti-rotation pin on the back
of the sensor is engaged in the center clearance hole of the radiator support and the arrow on the sensor label is pointed forward in the vehicle.
4. Install and tighten the two screws (2) that secure the sensor to the back of the support vertical member. Tighten the screws to 10 N.m (90 in. lbs.).
5. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any SRS component.
SIDE IMPACT SENSOR - INSTALLATION
WARNING:
-
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result
in accidental airbag deployment.
-
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration.
The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side curtain supplemental restraints. If an impact sensor is accidentally dropped
during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental,
incomplete, or improper side supplemental restraint deployment.
NOTE: Side impact sensors are used only on vehicles equipped with the optional side curtain airbags.
