Your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) communicates sudden, forceful decelerations to your car's computer system. Your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is one of the most crucial components in your vehicle's collision safety system and could help offer some protection to you and your passengers in front-end collisions. In the majority of Nissan models, the Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) can be spotted toward the front of your car beneath your air duct intake or behind your front fender.
The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front), also known as the front crash sensor or inertia sensor, detects frontal impact and communicates data to the air bag control unit, which is responsible for deploying your Nissan’s airbags. In a front impact or collision, your air bags work (in conjunction with your seatbelt) to reduce serious injuries by countering sudden forward motion. In other words, your air bag system works to prevent harm to the most precious things in your vehicle: you and your loved ones!
If you have an accident or collision (or if your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is warped, cracked, or broken) swap out your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) immediately.
Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) replacement requires expert car knowledge and special tools like a code scanner. Depending on your Nissan’s model, you might be required to take off multiple components in the front of your Nissan including the battery, radiator strap, front fender, door trim, headlights, or body panels. Therefore, it's often recommended you visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center to have your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) replacement conducted by trained professionals.
