2000 GMC Safari Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Does the SIR Air Bag Sensor Replacement Policy Mandate for Sensors in Accident-Damaged Areas on 2000 GMC Safari?

  A: The sir sensor replacement policy requires that sensors should be replaced in zones of accident damage, which includes any area of the vehicle that is crushed, bent or damaged in an impact such as moderate impact into a tree. If an sir sensor is located ahead of the Radiator, whether or not the air bags have been inflated does not matter, it needs to be replaced regardless of the fact that the sensor does not seem to have any visible damage. Smaller damage like slight bending of the mounting bracket and wire insulation cuts can cause incorrect sir sensing system operation, therefore, the sensor should be replaced without trying to determine its state. Also, if a malfunctioning sensor is diagnosed with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table, then the sensor has to be replaced.
