01/11/2022Q: Under what condition should you replace the impact sensor?
A:
You need to replace the sensor whether or not the airbags have deployed and even if the sensor appears to be undamaged. Sensor damage that is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the wire insulation, may cause improper operation of the SIR sensing system. Please do not try to determine whether the sensor is undamaged, replace the sensor.

01/11/2022Q: What should we do when servicing the airbag arming and disarming?
A:
We can turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead and turn off the ignition. Then we can remove the key from the ignition switch, remove the airbag fuse from the IP fuse block and remove the connector position assurance (CPA) from the driver yellow 2-way connector located at the base of the steering column. Next, we disconnect the driver yellow 2-way connector located at the base of the steering column, remove the CPA from the passenger yellow 2-way connector located near the base of the steering column and disconnect the passenger yellow 2-way connector located near the base of the steering column.
