Front Impact Severity Sensor

FRONT IMPACT SEVERITY SENSOR







Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Install and correctly position the sensor or any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

1. Depower the system.
2. Remove the front bumper cover.
3. Disconnect the front impact severity sensor electrical connector.

4. WARNING: The tightening torque of the front impact severity sensor retaining nuts is critical for correct system operation. Failure to follow tightening instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE:
- Make sure the hood latch bracket and front impact severity sensor mating surfaces are clean and free of foreign material.
- Note position of the 2 locator tabs on sensor for installation.

Remove the bolt and the front impact severity sensor.
- To install, tighten to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft).

5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
