• Q: How to replace the front air bag sensor on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The process for replacing the SIR Front End Discriminating Sensor starts by disabling the SIR system. The inflatable restraint front end discriminating sensor located behind the hood hinge becomes accessible when you remove the radiator support cover. You must first separate the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) from the harness connector and then unplug the harness connector from the sensor. Begin by removing both mounting fasteners then extracting the sensor toward the radiator support. Set the new sensor in place on the radiator support before fastening the mounting hardware and tightening it to 11 N.m (98 lb in). Connect the harness connector to the sensor while securing the CPA onto the harness connector. Last step involves placing the radiator support cover back in position before enabling the SIR system.
