• Q: How to replace the front air bag sensor on 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500?

  A: A technician must disable the SIR prior to replacing the inflatable restraint front end sensor. When applying power to prevent deployment or injury ensure that the sensor remains firmly installed and that you have avoided causing any strikes or jolts to the device. The first step to replace the sensor requires support of the vehicle while removing the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) from the electrical connector before disconnecting it. The mounting nut requires loosening so you can slide the sensor forward which allows you to take it out of the keyhole slot in the lower radiator support. Clean the mounting surface first before placing the sensor while pointing the arrow to the front direction. Begin by placing the sensor into the keyhole slot near the lower radiator support before pushing it gradually towards the vehicle's rear. Follow these installation steps: Secure the nut to 10 N.m (89 lb in) torque while connecting the electrical connector and installing the CPA. Afterward both safety stands should be removed while you lower the car to enable the SIR system.
