    3. Align the pin of the front airbag sensor to the body hole.
    4. Using SST, install the front airbag sensor with the bolt.

      NOTE:
      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 250 mm (9.84 in.).
      • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to a torque wrench.
      • If the front airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connector, replace it with a new one.
      • When installing the front airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with other parts and that it is not pinched between other parts.
      • Make sure that the pin is securely inserted into the body hole.
      • Tighten the bolt while holding the front airbag sensor because the front airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.
    5. Connect the connector to the front airbag sensor.
      NOTE: When connecting the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
    6. Check that there is no looseness in the installation parts of the front airbag sensor.
