The location of this left front impact sensor is in the Left Crush Zone of the engine compartment. Impact sensors perform internal self-tests and communicate the sensors status using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The sensor communicates this internal failure message using the sensor signal circuit. If the scan tool shows this DTC has a Stored history of setting then the left front impact sensor is to be replaced.
