WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the front impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The front impact sensor enables the system to deploy the front Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper front SRS component deployment.

NOTE: The front and the third row seating side impact sensors are interchangeable.





1. Service access for the front impact sensors is accomplished by reaching behind the front end module carrier (2) from the top of the engine compartment and below the inboard end of the front lamp unit housing (1).
2. Position the right or left front impact sensor (3) into the engine compartment.
3. Align and insert the anti-rotation pin on the base of the sensor into the clearance hole in the front end module carrier.
4. Install and tighten the screw (4) that secures the front impact sensor to the front end module carrier. Tighten the screw securely.
5. Reconnect the front end module wire harness connector (5) to the connector receptacle of the front impact sensor.
6. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed following service of any SRS component.Verification Tests.
