Side Impact Gravity Sensor

Installation

Side Impact Pressure Sensor

  1. Install a new pressure-type side impact sensor using the screws, then connect the pressure-type side impact sensor connector.

    Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8 N·m
    • Be sure to use the specified screws.
  2. Install the front door trim panel. (Refer to Body - "Front Door Trim Panel")
  3. Connect the negative battery cable.
  4. After installing the pressure 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-type side impact sensors (P-SIS) may be damaged or the POP-NUT may rotate.
    • Durability problems may occur with the P-SIS, or impact detection performance may deteriorate if the POP-NUT is rotated.
    • The door module must not be deformed, because the SRSCM detects impact through the pressure sensor in the door module.
Side Impact Gravity Sensor
  • Do not turn the ignition ON or connect the battery cable when replacing the side impact sensor.
  1. Install a new side impact sensor with the bolt, then connect the side impact sensor connector.

    Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8 N·m

  2. Install the center pillar trim. (Refer to Body - "Interior Trim")
  3. Install the door scuff plate. (Refer to Body - "Interior Trim")
  4. Connect the negative battery cable.
  5. After installing the 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.
