2000 Buick LeSabre Air Bag Sensor Parts and Q&A

• Q: Should the SIR/side air bag sensor be replaced in the area of accident damage on 2000 Buick LeSabre?

  A: The sir/side Air Bag Sensor requires replacement when installed in regions affected by car collision damage which includes all vehicle areas that experience crushing or bending or sustained visible damage during the accident such as moderate tree impacts. Replacement of an sir sensor located forward of the Radiator becomes necessary even when air bags have not deployed and the sensor shows no signs of damage. The sir/side air bag sensing system requires a sensor replacement because slight bending of mounting brackets and wire insulation damage cannot be inspected thus affecting sensor performance thus demanding immediate replacement. The replacement of faulty sensors becomes necessary when diagnostic trouble codes appear within the system.
