Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor in the Front End on Cadillac Escalade?
A: Before replacing the inflatable restraint front end discriminating sensor you must disable the sir system while also unplugging the engine protection shield as needed. First disconnect the connector position assurance (CPA) from the sensor harness connector before removing the harness connector from the sensor. The fasteners need removal before removing the sensor from its vehicle location. Use a chisel tool to remove deteriorated weld nuts before installing a new one (GM P/N 11514034 or equivalent) followed by mig weld application. For sensor mounting hole or fastener damages discard damaged parts and condition lower tie front end surface. Reinstall your vehicle with either gm p/n 11515926 or an equivalent fastener. Careful and gentle handling of the new sensor must take place before installation to prevent jarring movements during setup. Prior to mounting clean the surface area completely followed by sensor placement with front-arrow orientation and use 10 n.m (89 lb in) torsion to fasten all screws. Connect the sensor harness in place then install the cpa. Reinstall the engine protection shield while completing an sir system activation.
Q: Should the SIR/side air bag sensor be replaced in the area of accident damage regardless of its apparent condition on Cadillac CTS?
A: Vehicle accidents that cause damage to any part of the area require the SIR side air bag sensor replacement in that particular section. This includes areas that experience compression or bending due to moderate collisions with trees. You need to change the sensor at all times independently of air bag deployment status or sensor visual condition because hidden faults including mounting bracket bending or wire insulation cuts could trigger SIR/side air bag system malfunction. Therefore, do not attempt to assess the sensor for damage; simply replace it. A sensor replacement is necessary when it generates an indication through Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor for Side Impact on Cadillac XLR?
A: Implementation of new Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensors requires disabling the SIR system as the first step. Start by taking out the door trim panel. The next step involves removing the inflatable restraint side impact sensor bolts before taking out the sensor from the vehicle. Before placement insert the sensor into the vehicle while carefully following the guidelines in the Fastener Notice to prevent damage. Apply 9 N.m (80 lb in) torque when installing retaining bolts to the inflatable restraint side impact sensor. Reinstall the door trim panel while enabling the SIR system.
