  Q: Should the SIR/side air bag sensor be replaced in the area of accident damage, regardless of visible condition or deployment on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The sir/side Air Bag Sensor has to be replaced in the region of accident damage, which is any part of the car that is crushed, bent, or damaged in the process of a crash since, for instance, the front part of the car crashes into a tree while needing the replacement of the sir sensor situated beyond the Radiator. There is a need to replace the sir/side air bag sensing system irrespective of the situation whether the air bags have been deployed or the sensor seems undamaged, because hidden damage such as the mounting bracket bend or the cuts at the wire insulation can result in an inadequate function of the sir/side air bag sensing system. Do not try and inspect the damage of the sensor, simply replace it. Further, in case the dtc table is pointing to the malfunctioning sensor, then, the sensor is required to be replaced as well.
