Q: How to replace the front air bag sensor on GMC Canyon?
A: To replace the inflatable restraint front end sensor, the first action to take before is the SIR system, for disabling. Do not hit or jolt the sensor, and have it well secured before applying power to prevent SIR deployment or personal injury. Start by dismantling the grille then loosen the fasteners attaching the front discriminating sensors to the radiator support and take out the sensor assembly. Place the sensor assembly so that it can reach the electrical connector, then remove the CPA and deconnect the sensor electrical connector before you remove the sensor from the vehicle. For installation, clear the mounting surfaces from dust, grease, or dirt, and then mount the sensor close to the radiator support and connect the sensor electrical connector. Mount the CPA onto the connector, mount the sensor assembly to the radiator support, and fasten it with the 2 fasteners. Tighten them up to 9 N.m (80 lb in). Lastly, reinstall the grille and turn on the SIR system.
Q: How to replace the front air bag sensor on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: The SIR system should be disabled before beginning the replacement of inflatable restraint front end sensor. Begin by disconnecting the electrical connector then taking out the connector position assurance (CPA). The sensor bolt needs removal before you extract the sensor from the vehicle. You must clean all dirt and grease and contaminant particles from the mounting surface before installation. The arrow on the sensor needs to face toward the vehicle's front position while the sensor installs horizontally across the radiator support before tightening the bolt to 9 N.m using 79 lb in torque settings. Plug in the electrical connector to the sensor before installing the connector position assurance. Finally, enable the SIR system.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor for Side Impact on GMC Envoy?
A: To change the Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor, disable the SIR system. Take off the front door trim panel and peel off the rear half of the water deflector from the door to reveal the side impact sensor. Without replacing the screws that hold the side impact sensor to door and remove the side impact sensor electrical connector from side impact sensor. After the side impact sensor is taken out of the door, place the new side impact sensor and plug the electrical connector on it 1. Replace the screws and screw it in doing so as to retain the side impact sensor to the door 1 tightening it to 8N.m (71 lb in). Hydrate your water deflector all the way to your door, along with re-installing your door trim panel, and finally, turning on the SIR system.
