Front Impact Sensor

To replace the inflatable restraint front end sensor, turn off first the SIR system. Make sure to avoid hitting or jarring the inflatable restraint front end sensor; ensure it is securely fastened before applying power to avoid SIR deployment or personal injury. Disconnect electrical connector and remove connector position assurance (CPA) from connector. Then, unscrew the sensor bolt and take the sensor out of the vehicle. To install, clean the mounting surface of any dirt, grease, or contaminants and point the arrow on the sensor in the direction of the front of the vehicle. Mount the sensor horizontally to the radiator support and secure it with a bolt of 9 N.m (79 lb in) torque. Plug the electrical connector to the sensor, and reattach the CPA. Finally, enable the SIR system.

The process to replace the Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor needs a disablement of the SIR system as the first step. Start by removing the front door trim panel and gently loosening the two fasteners that secure the inflatable restraint side impact sensor. Remove the inflatable restraint side impact sensor from the door before disconnecting its connector position assurance (CPA) and inflatable restraint side impact sensor yellow 2-way harness connector . During installation begin by linking the inflatable restraint side impact sensor with the yellow 2-way harness connector while installing the CPA to the connector. Reinstall the inflatable restraint side impact sensor into the door while using hand tools to tighten the fasteners to 10 N.m (89 lb in). Insert the door trim panel then turn on the SIR system.

Perform the following actions to replace the inflatable restraint side impact sensor by first disabling the SIR system. When protecting the undeployed inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioner, avoid carrying the wires or connector; instead, hold it with the open end away from you and other people, but do not cover it with a hand to avoid personal injury. Next, take out the front door trim panel, loosen the 2 fasteners for the inflatable restraint side impact sensor, and remove the sensor from the door. The connector position assurance (CPA) and the yellow 2-way harness connector go into disconnectability. For the installation, connect the yellow 2-way harness connector to the inflatable restraint side impact sensor and install the CPA on the connector. Then, fasten back the inflatable restraint side impact sensor to the door and tighten the fasteners to 10 N.m (89 lb in) with only hand tools. Finally, reinstall the door trim panel and activate the SIR system.

First of all, disable the SIR system when changing the Inflatable Restraint Front End Sensor. Pull out the connector position assurance (CPA) from the connector and detach the electrical connector. Next, pull off the sensor bolt and extract its sensor from the car. Before you install, wipe dirt, grease or other impurities off the mounting surface. Make sure the arrow on the sensor points to the front part of the vehicle and anchor the sensor horizontally to the radiator support with a tightening force of 9 N.m (79 lb in). Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor and install the CPA. Finally, enable the SIR system.
