Installation

Pressure Side Impact Sensor

Install the new pressure side impact sensor with the screws (A) then connect the pressure side impact sensor connector (B).

Tightening torque :

3.5 ~ 5.7 N.m (0.36 ~ 0.58 kgf.m, 2.6 ~ 4.2 lb-ft)

2.	Install the front door trim. (Refer to Body - "Front door trim")

3.	Reconnect the battery negative cable.

After installing the pressure side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:

•	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 sensor 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.

Install the new side impact sensor (A) with the bolt then connect the side impact sensor connector (B).

Tightening torque :

8.0 ~ 12.0 N.m (0.82 ~ 1.22 kgf.m, 5.9 ~ 8.9 lb-ft)

2.	Install the center pillar lower trim. (Refer to Body - "Center pillar trim")

3.	Install the door scuff trim. (Refer to Body - "Door scuff trim")
