FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH


    1. Check that the engine switch is off.

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

      CAUTION:

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

    3. Insert the pin (stopper) into the body hole to install the front airbag sensor LH with the 2 bolts.

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

      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.

    4. Connect the connector to the front airbag sensor.

      Note

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


      1. Before connecting the connector, check that the position of the housing lock is correct as shown in the illustration.
