The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) communicates sudden, forceful decelerations to your car's computer system. The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is an integral component of your car's collision safety system and works to offer protection to you and your passengers in the event of a front-end collision. In most Nissan models, your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) can be spotted toward the front end of your car beneath the air duct intake or behind the front fender.
The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front), also known as the inertia sensor or front crash sensor, detects events of frontal impact and transmits data to the air bag control unit, which then deploys your Nissan’s airbags. In collisions, your air bags work (in conjunction with your seatbelt) to reduce fatalities or serious injury by working against the rapid forward motion. Simply put, your air bag system works to limit injury to the most precious things in your vehicle: you and your loved ones!
