CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

id081000800500

Warning

•  Handling the crash zone sensor improperly can accidentally deploy the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings and cautions before handling the crash zone sensor. (See SERVICE WARNINGS.) (See SERVICE CAUTIONS.)

Note

•  The bonnet latch is attached together with the crash zone sensor and is therefore removed when the sensor is removed. This may cause incorrect positioning of the bonnet after installation of the sensor. To ensure proper positioning of the bonnet, place alignment marks on the bonnet latch and shroud panel before removing the crash zone sensor.

1.  Place alignment marks on the bonnet latch and shroud panel.

2.  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

3.  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.

4.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

•  If the air bag system warning light does not operate normally, refer to the on-board diagnostic system (air bag system) and perform inspection of the system.

Crash Zone Sensor Installation Note

1.  Align the alignment marks on the bonnet latch and shroud panel made prior to removal, and install the crash zone sensor.

2.  Refer to “BONNET ADJUSTMENT” and verify that the gap and height difference between the bonnet and body are within the specifications. Adjust the bonnet if necessary. (See BONNET ADJUSTMENT)
