Driver front airbag crash sensor (G283) / front passenger front airbag crash sensor (G284)

Removing

Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Pyrotechnic, Electrical and Mechanical Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Testing and Inspection.

There is a risk of getting injured by an automatic engine start for vehicles with the start/stop system.

• For vehicles with an activated start/stop system (recognized by a signal in the instrument cluster), the engine can be started automatically if need be.

• Therefore make sure that the start/stop system is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition when necessary).

- Disconnect the ground cable from the battery with the ignition on.

- Remove the headlamp housing.






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 out connector lock - 4 - - arrow - and press down, disconnect harness connector - 1 - at the crash sensor.

- Remove bolt - 2 - and front airbag crash sensor - 3 -.

Installation

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Pyrotechnic, Electrical and Mechanical Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Testing and Inspection.

• 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.

• 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 cable with the ignition turned on.

• If the airbag indicator lamp (K75) indicates a fault after installation, the DTC memory must be checked, deleted and checked again.
