Removal Procedure
Caution. Be very careful when handling the sensors during service procedures. Never strike the sensors. Never jar the sensors. These actions could result
in personal injury, or improper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system. Carefully tighten all of the sensors, and all of the
mounting bracket bolts to ensure proper operation. Never power up the SIR system when any one of the sensors is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. An
unattached sensor could be easily activated causing the deployment of the air bag.
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock from the retainer.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector.
