How to replace the Air Bag Sensor in the Front End on Chevrolet S10?

Handle the Inflatable Restraint Front End Discriminating Sensor with care while installation to avoid damage by first cleaning the mounting surface and second making sure the sensor aligns horizontally with the front arrow pointing forward. Tightening all fasteners on the sensor and bracket system at specific torque standards is essential to stop Air Bags or injuries to occupants. First disable the SIR system and extract the off-road skid plate when present. First disconnect the connector position assurance (CPA) at the sensor harness connector then remove the harness connector from the sensor. Start by removing the sensor from the mounting holes or fasteners if any damage is found or if improperly installed rivets are present and then swap out these rivets using new ones to reattach the sensor. To perform additional repairs you should first remove the faulty rivet then expand the lower radiator support mounting holes to 9.0 mm (0.35 in) before inserting and seating the rivnut and installing the sensor by tightening the fasteners to 8.0 N.m (71 lb in). Put the sensor against the lower radiator support with its arrow pointing forward then attach the mounting rivets (GM P/N 15715058), reconnect the harness connector, secure the CPA after reinstalling the off-road skid plate when needed and turn on the SIR system.
