• Q: How to replace the side impact Air Bag Sensor on 2005 Buick LeSabre?

  A: Begin replacement of the inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) by disabling the SIR system. The SIS needs to be safely strapped before applying power since any deployment or injury may occur from improper contact. The extraction process for driver and passenger SIS follows exactly the same protocol. Start by moving the seat into its maximum forward position then remove the panel mounted on the center pillar. Start by removing the CPA from the SIS harness connector then break the SIS harness connector free from its housing on the SIS. Access the SIS by first removing the mounting fasteners then pulling the SIS through the center pillar sheet metal. Installation requires a clean mounting surface followed by SIS placement onto the center pillar sheet metal before securing it with mounting fasteners installed at 9 N.m (80 lb in). Set the CPA to the SIS harness connector before you fasten the connector to the SIS unit. After installation the center pillar trim you should return the seat to its initial position and activate the SIR system.
