Removal and Installation
warningAlways observe the following item for preventing accidental activation.
  • Before servicing, ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait for 3 minutes or more (discharges electricity held in the additional power supply circuit of the air bag diagnosis sensor unit).
 
 
REMOVAL
 
 
Front Door Satellite Sensor
1. Remove front door finisher. Refer to Removal and Installation.
2. Remove front door sealing screen. Refer to Removal and Installation.
3. Disengage front door satellite sensor lock pin according numerical order 1→2 indicated arrows as shown in figure.
4. Disconnect front door satellite sensor harness connector, and then remove front door satellite sensor.
caution
  • Replace satellite sensor of deployed front side air bag module, deployed front center air bag module, deployed rear side air bag module and deployed curtain air bag module.
  • Never damage front door satellite sensor harness.
 
 
B-pillar Satellite Sensor
1. Remove center pillar lower garnish. Refer to Removal and Installation.
2. Remove seat belt pre-tensioner retractor. Refer to Removal and Installation.
3. Remove B-pillar satellite sensor mounting nut.
4. Pull out B-pillar satellite sensor from the vehicle.
cautionNever damage B-pillar satellite sensor harness.
5. Disconnect B-pillar satellite sensor harness connector, and then remove B-pillar satellite sensor.
caution
  • To prevent damage to the parts, never impact the satellite sensor.
  • Replace satellite sensor if it is dropped or sustains an impact.
  • Replace satellite sensor of deployed front side air bag module, deployed front center air bag module, deployed rear side air bag module and deployed curtain air bag module.
 
 
C-pillar Satellite Sensor
1. Remove luggage side lower finisher. Refer to Removal and Installation.
2. Remove C-pillar satellite sensor mounting nut.
3. Disconnect C-pillar satellite sensor harness connector, and then remove C-pillar satellite sensor.
caution
  • To prevent damage to the parts, never impact the satellite sensor.
  • Replace satellite sensor if it is dropped or sustains an impact.
  • Replace satellite sensor of deployed front side air bag module, deployed front center air bag module, deployed rear side air bag module and deployed curtain air bag module.
 
 
INSTALLATION
Note the following items, and then install in the reverse order of removal.
caution
  • Never reuse front door satellite sensor after removal, replace with new one.
  • Never reuse B-pillar and C-pillar satellite sensor mounting nut after removal, replace with the new one.
  • Always install normally aligning to the cutout hole, because performance of the satellite sensor excessively fluctuates according to the installation position.
  • After installation is completed, perform self-diagnosis using M.U.T.-III SE or air bag warning light, if the system is normal and ″PAST″ of ″Self Diagnostic Result″ is indicated, always perform ″ERASE″ of ″Self Diagnostic Result″ using M.U.T.-III SE. Refer to Work FlowWork Flow.
  • After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning light.
