Front Impact Sensor Location on a Vectra 2.2 DTi

**jwilde81** · 18th November 2019, 11:41

Hi,

Has anyone had experience with replacing front impact sensors on a Vectra 2.2 DTi? My car is a 2002 16v SXI model.

I've checked under the bonnet at the front either side of the radiator but they aren't there.

The airbag light is on and I want illiminate possible faulty crash sensors before looking at the squib and other things.

Thanks!

I'd seen an image online of the sensors located like you say, either side of the slam panel. Couldn't find yhem on mine! Nothing there 20191124_103001.jpg

what you should do is readout the ecu so you can see what fault is logged, it'll tell you exactly what is wrong... the car has loads of airbags you don't want to be checking randomly.
