      Note


      • If the side airbag sensor assembly 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 assembly, 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 nut while holding the side airbag sensor assembly because the side airbag sensor assembly pin (stopper) is easily damaged.

      Note

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


      1. Be sure to engage the connectors until they are locked (when locking, make sure that a click sound can be heard).
