Front Airbag Sensor: Installation: Installation

1. Check that the ignition switch is off.
2. Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

4. Using SST, install the front airbag sensor with the bolt.
   • SST: 09961-00950 

   without SST 

   Torque: 9.0 N*m (92 kgf*cm, 80 in.*lbf) 

   with SST 

   Torque: 5.6 N*m (57 kgf*cm, 50 in.*lbf) 

   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.
