WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Check the side impact sensor and bracket for dents, cracks or deformation. The side impact sensors are located inside the center pillars (LH/RH).
  2. Check the connector for damage, and terminal for deformation.
  3. Check that there is no bending or corrosion in the center pillars (LH/RH).
    NOTE: The illustration at left shows the left side impact sensor (LH). The position of the side impact sensor (RH) is symmetrical to this.
