This side impact sensor is often searched for by the part number (OEM code), therefore it is suitable as a replacement after the airbags are activated in an accident or when the original sensor is found to be faulty. For many auto mechanics and home repairers, a used original sensor is a more affordable solution than a new part, while maintaining the original functionality of the airbag system.
Installation recommendations:
– Before any work on the airbag system, always disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes for the residual voltage in the system to discharge.
– Disassemble the original sensor carefully, without damaging the wiring and connectors. Check the condition of the bundles and any corrosion at the attachment point.
– Mount the new side impact sensor in its original position, screw it firmly and ensure the correct orientation according to the original part. For shock sensors, accurate position and rotation is essential for proper function.
– Connect the connector only after the part has been mechanically fixed, make sure the contacts are clean and the connector fuses are firmly engaged.
– After assembly, connect the battery and diagnose the airbag system with the appropriate diagnostics. Check and clear error codes if necessary, verify that the airbag light on the dashboard goes out after starting.
Professional and careful installation is essential for this type of part, as an improperly mounted or wired sensor can negatively affect the function of the airbag system in the event of an accident.
