Front Airbag Crash Sensor

Front Airbag Crash Sensor

Removing

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Service Precautions.

• Follow the safety precautions for front side airbag crash sensors (pressure sensors). Refer to => [ Front Side Airbag Crash Sensors Safety Precautions ] Front Side Airbag Crash Sensors Safety Precautions.

There is a risk of getting injured by an automatic engine start for vehicles with the start/stop system.

• For vehicles with an activated start/stop system (recognized by a signal in the instrument cluster), the engine can be started automatically if need be.

• Therefore make sure that the start/stop system is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition when necessary).

- Open the hood.

- Clamp off ground wire at battery with ignition switched off.

• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, disconnecting the connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Service Precautions.

• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, connecting electrical connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

• Make sure the connectors are installed all the way in and are secure.

- Switch on ignition.

Connect the battery with the ignition switched on. Pyrotechnic components could deploy after connecting the battery if they were not repaired correctly. Individuals must not be inside the vehicle when connecting the battery.

- Connect battery ground cable with ignition switched on.

• If the airbag malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (K75) indicates a fault after installation, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again.
