• Q: How to replace the front air bag sensor on 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Disabling the SIR system must happen prior to replacing the inflatable restraint front end sensor. Secure attachment of the sensor before power application remains essential to preventing SIR deployment and personal injury. Avoid striking or jolting the sensor at all times during installation. Begin by removing the radiator upper air baffle and deflector then remove the orange connector position assurance (CPA) from the yellow sensor harness connector. You must disconnect the harness connector from the sensor afterward removing the sensor bolts to extract the sensor from the upper radiator core support. First clean all dirt and grease from the mounting surface before joining the harness connector to the new sensor and placing the orange CPA into the yellow sensor harness connector. Assemble the sensor so its arrow points frontward along the upper radiator core support and fasten the bolts to 9 N.m (80 lb in) torque. After enabling the SIR system owners can reinstall both the radiator upper air baffle along with the deflector.
