2002 S60 impact sensor replacement

Post by DanoTheRed »

Hi,
I have a 2002 S60 2.4T. It was in a minor front end collision.. enough to cause the passenger side airbag to deploy. I just replaced the dash and airbag. I know I need to have the airbag module reset. My question is do I need to replace the impact sensor?

Thanks in advance

02 S60 has no frontal impact sensor(s) that are remote mounted. Front impact is internal crash sensor control unit (airbag module in your words) mounted. Replace parts and clear codes.

Thank you so much! I haven't reconnected the battery. I was afraid the new air bag would go off..

I wonder if the seat pretensioner has to be replaced.

I will be replacing both of the front seatbelts. Only the drivers side locked up but I have read elsewhere that the passenger side on may not be working properly.
Many thanks again for all the info and suggestions..
