WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the front impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The front impact sensor enables the system to deploy the front Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper front SRS component deployment.





1. Position the front impact sensor (3) into the engine compartment.

2. Connect the electrical connector (1) to the sensor.

3. Position the sensor onto the back of the right or left radiator support vertical member (2).

NOTE:
Be certain that the anti-rotation pin on the back of the sensor is engaged in the lower clearance hole of the radiator support.

4. Install and tighten the screw (4) that secures the sensor (3) to the back of the support vertical member (2). Tighten the screw to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).

5. Do not reconnect the negative cable to the battery at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Verification Test procedure should be performed following service of any SRS component. Supplemental Restraints Verification Test.

WARNING:
Do not connect the battery negative cable. Serious or fatal injury may result if the system test is not performed first.
