Disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2.
Remove the front door trim. (Refer to the Body group- Front door)
3.
Disconnect the pressure side impact sensor connector (A) and remove the pressure side impact sensor mounting screws (B).

Side Impact Sensor
1.

2.
To remove the seat belt anchor pretensioner, keep on pushing the lock pin (A) as arrow direction. And then remove the seat belt after pushing the lock pin (B).

3.
Remove the door scuff trim. (Refer to the Body group - Interior trim)
4.
Remove the center pillar trim. (Refer to the Body group - Interior trim)
5.
Disconnect the side impact sensor connector.

Installation
Pressure Side Impact Sensor
1.
Install the new pressure side impact sensor with the screws then connect the pressure side impact sensor connector.

Tightening torque :
3.5 ~ 4.5 N.m (0.36 ~ 0.46 kgf.m, 2.6 ~ 3.3 lb-ft)

   
Use the specified screws.
2.
Install the front door trim. (Refer to the Body group- Front door)
3.
Reconnect the battery negative cable.
4.
After installing the pressure side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:
Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
   
You must comply with the specified tightening torques with the tool specified because Pressure – Side Impact Sensors (P-SIS) may be broken or POP-NUT may be rotated.
Problems may occur in the durability of P-SIS or the impact sensing performance may depreciate if POP-NUT is rotated.
The door module must not be modified because SRSCM judges an impact through the pressure sensor in the door module.
Side Impact Sensor
   
Do not turn the ignition switch ON and do not connect the battery cable while replacing the side impact sensor.
1.
Install the new side impact sensor with the bolt then connect the side impact sensor connector.

Tightening torque:
7.0 ~ 9.0 N.m (0.7 ~ 0.9 kgf.m, 5.2 ~ 6.7 lb-ft)

2.
Install the center pillar trim (Refer to the Body group - Interior tirm)
3.
