How to Safely Service and Repair an Air Bag Sensor on 2008 Dodge Dakota?

Question

Accepted Answer

It is important to first disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable after turning off the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and waiting two minutes so the capacitor does not discharge and cause visitors or workers harm. Don't hit or drop the side impact sensor, as it could cause issues; should you drop it, a new sensor is needed. Affix the side impact sensor (3) directly below the right or left outboard front seat adjuster riser, on top of the floor panel (4) and connect the body wire harness connector (1) to the sensor connector receptacle. Attach the sensor to the control panel, so the anti-rotation pin at the back of the sensor is secured in the center clearance hole and the arrow on the label marks the car's outboard section. Screw the sensor into the inner B-pillar using two fenders and tighten them both to 8 Nm (75 in. lbs.). Pop the floor carpet back over the side impact sensor in the right or left front door opening sill (5) and then replace the scuff plate trim on its sill. Don't reattach the battery negative cable until the SRS verification process is done after working on any SRS component.
