How to replace the Air Bag Sensor in the Front End on GMC Savana 1500?

You must handle the Inflatable Restraint Front End Discriminating Sensor with care while replacement to avoid impact or jarring forces. Make sure to clean your mounting surface before power application while keeping the sensor level with its arrow facing forward. The proper torque value must be applied to all sensor fasteners and brackets to stop both Air Bag deployment and personal injuries. First disable SIR and then raise the vehicle while supporting it from below before removing the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) between the sensor harness and connector. The first step involves disconnecting the harness connector from the sensor followed by removing four mounting fasteners then extracting the sensor out of the front end lower tie bar. Use the first fastener repair protocol which involves stripping a corrupted fastener and nut then chiseling off the damaged weld nut and preparing the surface for the new weld nut before installing GM P/N 11514034 with a mig weld and attaching GM P/N 11515926 sensor tightly to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The second fastener repair method focuses on replacing a defective rivet by expanding the mounting holes to 9.0 mm (0.35 in) while inserting the rivet before tightening it with a screw to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The installation process involves screwing fasteners on the front end lower tie bar to 10 N.m torque and connecting the harness to the sensor before installing the CPA while removing safety stands to activate the SIR system.

Q: How to replace the Air Bag Sensor in the Front End on GMC Savana 1500?
A:
You must handle the Inflatable Restraint Front End Discriminating Sensor with care while replacement to avoid impact or jarring forces. Make sure to clean your mounting surface before power application while keeping the sensor level with its arrow facing forward. The proper torque value must be applied to all sensor fasteners and brackets to stop both Air Bag deployment and personal injuries. First disable SIR and then raise the vehicle while supporting it from below before removing the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) between the sensor harness and connector. The first step involves disconnecting the harness connector from the sensor followed by removing four mounting fasteners then extracting the sensor out of the front end lower tie bar. Use the first fastener repair protocol which involves stripping a corrupted fastener and nut then chiseling off the damaged weld nut and preparing the surface for the new weld nut before installing GM P/N 11514034 with a mig weld and attaching GM P/N 11515926 sensor tightly to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The second fastener repair method focuses on replacing a defective rivet by expanding the mounting holes to 9.0 mm (0.35 in) while inserting the rivet before tightening it with a screw to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The installation process involves screwing fasteners on the front end lower tie bar to 10 N.m torque and connecting the harness to the sensor before installing the CPA while removing safety stands to activate the SIR system.
