Impact Sensor: Testing and Inspection
IMPACT SENSORSWARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
For this vehicle line, the SRS uses one satellite sensor in addition to the RCM. The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the 20 percent seat or floor console (if equipped). All vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the lower radiator support. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
