SIDE - C-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 side impact sensor (3) near the inner C-pillar.

2. Connect the harness connector (1) to the sensor (3).

3. Position the sensor onto the C-pillar (2).

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

4. Install screw (4) that secures the sensor (3) to the C-pillar (2). Tighten the screw to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).

5. Install the rear quarter panel trim. Quarter Trim Panel - Installation.

6. 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.
