Removal
Pressure Side Impact Sensor
• | Removal of the airbag must be performed according to the precautions/procedures described previously.
• | Before disconnecting the side impact sensor connector(s), disconnect the side airbag connector(s).
• | Do not turn the ignition switch ON and do not connect the battery cable while replacing the side impact sensor.
1. | Disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. | Remove the front door trim. (Refer to the Body group- Front door)
3. | Disconnect the front side impact sensor connector and remove the front side impact sensor mounting screws.
4. | Remove the screw gromments (A).
Side Impact Sensor
1. | Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. | To remove the seat belt anchor pretensioner (C), keep on pushing the lock pins (A) as arrow direction. And then remove the seat belt after pushing the lock pin (B).
3. | Remove the door scuff trim. (Refer to the Body group - Interior trim)
4. | Remove the center pillar trim. (Refer to the Body group - Interior trim)
5. | Disconnect the side impact sensor connector.
6. | Loosen the side impact sensor mounting bolt and remove the side impact sensor.
Installation
Pressure Side Impact Sensor
• | Do not turn the ignition switch ON and do not connect the battery cable while replacing the side impact sensor.
1. | Install the screw gromments (A).
• | Do not reuse the screw grommets (A), whenever installing.
2. | Install the new front side impact sensor with the screws then connect the pressure side impact sensor connector.
Tightening torque: 1.1 ~ 1.3 N.m (0.11 ~ 0.13 kgf.m, 0.7 ~ 1.0 lb-ft)
3. | Install the front door trim. (Refer to the Body group- Front door)
4. | Reconnect the battery negative cable.
5. | After installing the front side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:
A. | Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
• | You must comply with the specified tightening torques with the tool specified because Pressure – Side Impact Sensors (P-SIS) may be broken or screw gromment may be rotated.
• | Problems may be occurred in the durability of P-SIS or impact sensing performance may be depreciated if screw gromment is rotated.
• | The door module must not be transformed because SRSCM judges a impact through the pressure sensed in the door module.
Side Impact Sensor
• | Do not turn the ignition switch ON and do not connect the battery cable while replacing the side impact sensor.
1. | Install the new side impact sensor with the bolt then connect the side impact sensor connector.
Tightening torque: 7.0 ~ 9.0 N.m (0.7 ~ 0.9 kgf.m, 5.1 ~ 6.6 lb-ft)
2. | Install the center pillar trim (Refer to the Body group - Interior tirm)
3. | Install the door scuff trim. (Refer to the Body group - Interior tirm)
4. | Insert the seat belt to the anchor pretensioner.
Make sure the lock pin is connected in properly.
5. | Reconnect the battery negative cable.
6. | After installing the Side Impact Sensor, confirm proper system operation:
A. | Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
