Removal

1.  WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IS POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO SERVICING OR REPLACING ANY SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

   NOTE: To service stripped LH front air bag sensor and bracket (14B004) retaining screws, replace screws with N802455. Tighten to 10-14 Nm (8-10 lb-ft).

   Disconnect battery positive cable and wait one minute for backup power supply energy to be depleted.

2. Disconnect sensor wiring connector from wiring assembly connector.

3. Remove three screws retaining LH front air bag sensor and bracket support. Remove sensor.

Installation

1. Position sensor to radiator support.

2. Secure sensor with three retaining screws. Tighten to 10-14 Nm (8-10 lb-ft).

3. Connect sensor wiring connector to wiring assembly connector and secure wiring retainer.

4. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.

   Connect battery positive cable.

5. Verify air bag indicator.
