FRONT

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the front impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The front impact sensor enables the system to deploy the front supplemental restraints. If an impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper front supplemental restraint deployment.





1. Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.

WARNING:
Wait two minutes for the system reserve capacitor to discharge before servicing any airbag components. Failure to do this may result in serious or fatal injury.

2. Remove the screw (4) that secures the front impact sensor (3) to the back of the right or left radiator support vertical member (2).

3. Disconnect the electrical connector (1) from the sensor (3).

4. Remove the front impact sensor from the engine compartment.
