tech = JK
question = How do i replace the airbag sensor?


JK:
Thank you for the tip/donation.
Are you referring to what is called the "front end discriminating sensor"?
Or the airbag "sensing and diagnostic module"?






VISITOR:
airbag sensing and diagnostic module
I was told this because of the airbag light
is always on. The car hit a truck head-on and
the airbags deployed. All repairs were completed.


JK:
The SDM is located under the carpet, under the pass. seat. The seat will have to be
removed. Then replace the module after key off, and fuse(s) removed. The module will
only bolt in 1 way. Arrow on module points to the front of the car.

After that you will have to perform a setup procedure on the module and the body
control module(BCM) with a dealer scan tool. If the setup procedures are not
performed, you will have an airbag light on, and codes in the BCM.
