      NOTE:
      • If the side 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 side 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 side airbag sensor because the side airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.
