Impact Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

WARNING: If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected, replace with a new sensor.

1. Check the front impact sensor for dents, cracks, deformation or rust.

WARNING: If the resistance value shows the short-circuit or the open-circuit, be sure to replace the front impact sensor with a new one.







2. Check the short-circuit or the open-circuit between the front impact sensor terminals.
When short-circuit: 1 Ohm and less
When open-circuit: 1 mega Ohm and over







3. Check for continuity between the terminal and the bracket. When there is continuity, it shows insufficient insulation of the sensor. Replace the sensor with a new one.
4. Check for deformation and rust on the radiator support panel.
