SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY


    1. Check that the engine switch is off.

    2. Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:


      • B002DW2

        Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      • B002DNL

        If this procedure is performed without disconnecting the cable from negative (-) battery terminal, the airbag may deploy even if an impact is applied only to the side airbag sensor assembly. Therefore, make sure that the cable from negative (-) battery terminal is connected before performing this procedure.

    3. B002CUB

      Connect the connector to the side airbag sensor assembly.

      Note

      When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.


      1. While holding the outer housing, be sure to engage the connector until they are locked and check that the outer housing is in its original position (when locking, make sure that a click sound can be heard).

    4. Insert the pin (stopper) into the body hole to install the side airbag sensor assembly to the vehicle with the bolt.

      Torque:
      9.0 N*m  { 92 kgf*cm, 80 in.*lbf }

      Note


      • If the side airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connector, replace it with a new one.

      • When installing the side airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts.

      • Make sure that the pin (stopper) is securely inserted into the body hole.

      • Tighten the bolt while holding the side airbag sensor because the side airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.

    5. Check that there is no looseness in the installation parts of the side airbag sensor assembly.
