• Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor for Side Impact on 2002 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Before replacing the Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor (SIS) you must disable the SIR system. First place the seat at its maximum forward position followed by removing the center pillar trim panel. Initial steps include taking apart two connectors: disconnect the CPA component from the SIS harness and next disconnect the SIS harness from the SIS assembly. Begin by removing the SIS mounting fasteners then extract the SIS unit from the center pillar space. Avoid contact-related impacts or jolts when you handle the new SIS during the installation process. A dust-free mounting area needs cleaning before SIS or SISM placement on the surface followed by fastener tightening to 9 N.m (80 lb in). Situations will require the installation of the SIS into the center pillar followed by connecting the SIS harness connector to the SIS while applying the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) to the SIS harness connector. Reinstall the center pillar trim before returning the seat to its factory setting and activating the SIR system.
