Impact Sensor: Testing and Inspection

1. After any degree of front body damage, inspect both front crash sensors. Replace a sensor if there are any signs of dents, cracks or deformation.







2. Ensure the sensors are installed correctly. An arrow is moulded into the upper case of the sensor indicating the front, the sensor must be installed with the arrow pointing towards the front of the vehicle. There must be no gap between the sensor and body of the vehicle. Use the fixing screws supplied with the sensor and tighten to the correct torque. Tighten front sensor fixing before rear sensor fixing.


CAUTION: Take extra care when painting or carrying out bodywork repairs in the vicinity of the sensors. Avoid direct exposure of the sensors or harness to heat guns, welding or spraying equipment.
