CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL REAR AIRBAG SENSOR
Check that the power switch is off.
Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
If this procedure is performed without disconnecting the cable from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, the airbag may deploy even if an impact is applied only to the rear airbag sensor. Therefore, make sure that the cable from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal is disconnected before performing this procedure.
Before connecting the airbag connector, check that the position of the housing lock is correct as shown in the illustration.
| *a | Correct | *b | Incorrect |
| *c | CPA | *d | Housing |
Engage the guide and hold the rear airbag sensor in place.
Install the bolt.
Note
If the rear airbag sensor has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
When installing the rear airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts.
Tighten the bolt while holding the rear airbag sensor because the rear airbag sensor guide is easily damaged.
Connect the connector.
While holding the CPA, be sure to engage the connectors until they are locked and check that the CPA is in its original position (when locking, make sure that a click sound can be heard).

Note
When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
Do not push down the upper part of the CPA shown in the illustration when connecting the airbag connector.
Check that there is no looseness in the installation parts of the side airbag sensor assembly.
