Side Airbag Crash Sensor

Side Airbag Crash Sensor

• Removal and installation are same for right and left.

Removing

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components ] Description and Operation.

• 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.

- Switch the ignition on.

- Disconnect the battery Ground (GND) cable with the ignition switched on.

- Remove the door trim. Refer to => [ Door Trim ] Door Trim.






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.

- Pull the locking mechanism - 1 - down - arrow - and disconnect the connector - 2 -.

- Remove the bolts - 3 - and the side airbag crash sensors - 4 -.

Installing

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components ] Description and Operation.

• 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.

• 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.

Installation is reverse of removal, but note the following:

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

• For proper crash sensor (pressure sensor) function, ensure door does not leak.

• All components (for example, cover, speaker, door trim) must be installed correctly.

• The door trim clips seal the system closed. Replace the clips if necessary.

• Make sure the wires do not get caught.

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 the battery GND cable with the ignition turned on.

• If the airbag indicator lamp (K75) indicates a fault after installation, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory must be checked, deleted and checked again. Refer to Vehicle diagnostic tester.
