Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Be careful when you handle a sensor. Do not strike or jolt a sensor. Before applying power to a sensor:
  • Remove any dirt, grease, etc. from the mounting surface.
  • Position the sensor horizontally on the mounting surface.
  • Point the arrow on the sensor toward the front of the vehicle.
  • Tighten all of the sensor fasteners and sensor bracket fasteners to the specified torque value.

    Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
