Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag system has been involved
in a crash where the fenders or grille area have been damaged, inspect the sensor mounting brackets for deformation. If damaged, the sensor
should be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed. In addition, ensure that the body structure in the area of the sensor mounting is
restored to its original condition.

front fenders on the right and left front bumper cover supports. The center air bag sensor and bracket is located on the radiator support.
The air bag sensors each consist of:
