Safing Sensor: Testing and Inspection

WARNING: During service procedures, be very careful when handling a sensor.
- Never strike or jar a sensor.
- Under some circumstances, it could cause improper operation of the air bag system. A sensor and mounting bracket bolts must be carefully torqued to assure proper operation.

CAUTION:
- Never disassemble forward sensor.
- Sensor should be replaced when it was dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more.

- Check sensor (1) and its bracket (2) for dents, cracks, deformation or rust.
- Check sensor connector (sensor side and harness side) or lock mechanism for damage or crack.
- Check connector terminals for bent, corrosion or rust.




- Check sensor for resistance.

Forward sensor resistance: 738- 905 ohm
