Installation

Side Impact Pressure Sensor
  • Do not turn the ignition ON or connect the battery cable when replacing the side impact sensor.
  1. Install the threaded inserts (A).
    • Do not reuse the threaded inserts (A) when installing.
  2. Install a new front side impact sensor with the screws, then press-fit the side impact sensor connector.

    Tightening torque: 1.1 ~ 1.3 N·m

  3. Install the front door trim panel. (Refer to Body - Front Door group)
  4. Connect the negative battery cable.
  5. After installing the front side impact sensor, check that the system operates correctly:
    A. Turn the ignition ON; the SRS indicator should illuminate for approximately six seconds, then turn off.
    • You must observe the specified tightening torques with the specified tool, as the pressure side impact sensors (P-SIS) may be damaged or the threaded insert may rotate.
    • Durability problems with the P-SIS may occur, or the detection performance may deteriorate, if the screw insert rotates.
    • The door module must not be deformed, because the SRSCM evaluates the impact pressure in the door module.
