      Note

      
      

      • If the front 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 front 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 front airbag sensor because the front airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.

   5. Connect the connector to the front airbag sensor.

      Note

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