Side Airbag Crash Sensor
Side Airbag Crash Sensor
• Removing and installing is identical for the left and right sides.
Removing
• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Service Precautions.
• Follow the safety precautions for front side airbag crash sensors (pressure sensors) => [ Front Side Airbag Crash Sensors, Safety Precautions ] Front Side Airbag Crash Sensors, Safety Precautions.
- Turn on the ignition.
- Disconnect the ground cable (GND) from the battery.
- 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.
- Release the lock - 1 - - arrow - and disconnect the connector - 1 -.
- Remove the bolts - 3 - and the side airbag crash sensors - 4 -.
Installing
• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Service Precautions.
• Follow the safety precautions for front side airbag crash sensors (pressure sensors) => [ 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.
Install in reverse order of removal. 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. 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 ground (GND) cable with the ignition turned on.
• If the airbag indicator lamp (K75) indicates a fault after installation, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the vehicle diagnostic tester.
