Description and Operation

Description

  • The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) system consists of two pressure-type side impact sensors, one (P-SIS) installed in each front door module center (left and right).

  • The pressure-type side impact sensor is also called P-SIS because it detects pressure caused by a collision at its installation location.

  • The side impact sensor is also called A-SIS because it detects acceleration.

  • The SRSCM determines airbag deployment and deployment timing through the SIS collision signal when a collision occurs.

Components and Component Location

Components

1. Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS)
2. Front Gravity Side Impact Sensor (G-SIS)

Repair Procedures

Removal

Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS)

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least thirty seconds before starting work.

  2. Remove the front door trim panel.

    (Refer to Body - "Front Door Trim Panel")

  3. Remove the side pressure impact sensor (A).

  4. Loosen the side pressure impact sensor mounting screw and remove the sensor (A).

Front Gravity Side Impact Sensor (G-SIS)

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least thirty seconds before starting work.

  2. Remove the center pillar trim.

    (Refer to Body - "Center Pillar Trim")

  3. After disconnecting the side impact sensor connector (A) and loosening the bolt (B), remove the sensor.

Installation

Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS)

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least thirty seconds before starting work.

  2. Install the pressure side impact sensor screws.

    Tightening torque: 3.0–4 N·m

  3. Connect the pressure side impact sensor.

  4. Install the front door trim panel.

    (Refer to Body - "Front Door Trim Panel")

  5. Connect the negative battery cable.

  6. After installing the side impact sensor, check that the system operates properly.

    • Turn the ignition switch ON. The SRS indicator should illuminate for approximately six seconds, and then turn off.
