2000 Chevrolet Metro Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Does the Air Bag Sensor Replacement Policy Mandate Regarding Sensors in the Area of Accident Damage on 2000 Chevrolet Metro?

  A: The sir sensor replacement policy dictates the replacement of probes in the area of accident damage, which is the part of the vehicle damaged by a collision (e.g., how the front of the vehicle crashes into a tree). If an sir sensor is installed in front of the Radiator, then it should be replaced whether its inflatable restraints deployed or a visible sign of damage to the sensor can be observed since some damage may not be obvious, for example, a bent mounting bracket or a cut wire insulation which can cause malfunction of the sir system. Instead, do not try to inspect the sensor for damage; simply replace it. In addition, if it is a diagnostic trouble code pointing at a malfunctioning sensor, then it should also be replaced.
