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

  A: Begin replacing the inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) by first disabling the SIR system. Before supplying power inspect that the SIS is firmly attached at all times to prevent deployment accidents and injuries. The removal procedure for both passenger and driver SIS is identical: Make sure to proceed with these steps: push the seat to its most forward position while removing the center pillar trim panel to disconnect both the CPA from SIS harness connector then remove the SIS harness connector from the SIS. The technician will remove both SIS mounting fasteners to free up the SIS unit from the center pillar sheet metal. Before installation begin by cleaning the mounting area followed by mounting the SIS onto the center pillar sheet metal using SIS mounting fasteners which should be tightened to 9 N.m (80 lb in). Connect the SIS harness connector to the SIS and install the CPA onto the SIS harness connector. Reinstall the center pillar trim and restore the seat to its initial position before enabling the SIR system.
