Side - B-Pillar

SIDE - B-PILLAR

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side 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 side SRS component deployment.





1. Position the sensor (2) onto the B-pillar (1) and install the mounting screw (3). Tighten the screw to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).

NOTE:
Be certain that the anti-rotation pin on the back of the sensor is engaged in the hole just below the mounting hole in the B-pillar.

2. Connect the electrical connector (4) to the sensor (2).

3. Install the B-pillar lower trim panel. B-Pillar Trim Panel - Installation.

4. 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.
