DESCRIPTION
The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) system consists of two front SIS which are installed inside the Center Pillar (LH and
RH) and two rear SIS which are installed in the rear pillar (LH and RH). They are remote sensors that detect
acceleration due to collision at their mounting locations. The primary purpose of the Side Impact Sensor (SIS) is to
provide an indication of a collision. The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) sends acceleration data to the SRSCM.

1.Disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the rear pillar trim. (Refer to BD group)
3. Disconnect the Side Impact Sensor connector.
4. Remove the SIS mounting bolt then remove the Side Impact Sensor.
INSTALLATION
FRONT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR
Page 828 of 1575

a.Ensure that the harness is installed and routed properly to prevent damage to the wiring.
b. 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 SRS harness connector to the Side Impact
Sensor.
Tightening torque
: 1.0 ~ 1.4 kgf.m (9.5 ~ 13.6 Nm, 7.0 ~ 10.0 lb.ft)
2.Install the center pillar trim. (Refer to BD group)
3. Install the door scuff trim. (Refer to BD group)
4. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
5. After installing the 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.
REAR SIDE IMPACT SENSOR
1.Be sure that the battery negative cable is disconnected.
2. Install the new Side Impact Sensor with the bolt then connect the SRS harness connector to the Side Impact
Sensor.
Tightening torque

AIRBAG DISPOSAL
SPECIAL TOOL REQUIRED
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side
airbags must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or side airbags,
the Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction. Only after the airbags or side airbags have been
deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags or side airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
DEPLOYING AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags or side airbags should be deployed while still in the
vehicle. The airbags or side airbags should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in
another vehicle. 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag or side airbag is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG :
1.Remove the driver's airbag and install the SST(0957A - 38500).
2. Install the driver's airbag on the steering wheel.
FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAG :
1.Remove the glove box, then disconnect the 2P connector between the front passenger's airbag and SRS main
harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 3F100).
SIDE AIRBAG :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector between the side airbag and side wire harness.
2. Install the SST (0957A- 3F100).
CURTAIN AIRBAG :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector between the curtain airbag and wire harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 38500).
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector from the seat belt pretensioner.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 38500).
3. Place the deployment tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away from the airbag.
4. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
5. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: a loud
noise and rapid inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflection)
6. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.

DEPLOYING THE AIRBAG OUT OF THE VEHICLE
If an intact airbag has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damage during transit,
storage or service, it should be deployed as follows :1. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least thirty feet (10meters) from any obstacles or people.
DISPOSAL OF DAMAGED AIRBAG
1.If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure of driver's airbag front passenger's and side airbag.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packing that the new replacement part come in.
