Pedestrian Protection Components
Model Y vehicles are equipped with Pedestrian Protection components such as a pressure sensing tube, and hood actuators.

Figure 3. Pedestrian Protection Hood Actuators
To determine if a vehicle is equipped with Pedestrian Protection components, open the hood and look for Pedestrian Protection hood actuators, as shown above.
If the vehicle is equipped with Pedestrian Protection components, after a frontal collision:
- Replace the Pedestrian Protection hood actuators if they deployed.
- Inspect the Pedestrian Protection pressure sensor tube and connector for signs of damage, such as tears in the tube and cracks in the connector. Replace the pressure sensor assembly if any part has been damaged.
