2006 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor for the side impact on 2006 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Starting the inflatable restraint side impact sensor replacement requires disabling of the SIR system. The inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) requires a secure attachment and no jolts before activating power to prevent SIR deployment and personal injury. You must first remove the front door trim and peel away half of the water deflector to properly access the side impact sensor. Dismantle the screws that hold the side impact sensor to the door and unplug the electrical impact sensor connection. Extract the side impact sensor from its position in the door body. To start the installation process wipe down your mounting surface from residual dirt and grease before setting your side impact sensor level with the door's horizontal orientation and mating its electrical connector to it. Screw the side impact sensor to the door with 8 N.m (71 lb in) force after installing all screws. The water deflector requires full contact with the door before you put back the door trim panel. Finally, enable the SIR system.
