Sensor Handling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Use special care when handling a sensor. DO NOT strike or jar a sensor, as air bag deployment, personal injury or improper operation of SIR system could result. A sensor must be replaced if dropped 3 feet or more. Sensors and mounting bracket bolts must be carefully torqued to ensure correct operation. Never power up SIR system when any sensor is not rigidly attached to vehicle, since sensor is easily activated and could cause air bag deployment.
