Front CRASH Impact Sensor Replacement / Front IMPACT Sensor LOCATION / Honda Accords 2013 - 2017

This covers front crash impact sensor replacement and front impact sensor location for Honda Accords 2013 - 2017, as well as location for impact sensors on the 2003 - 2008 Toyota Corolla.
This video is a continuation of the 'how to reset airbag light after accident or how to turn off SRS light after collision' series. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) is a vital system which should be restored after a collision.
To repair SRS after collision (front), you should know how to disable the SRS system, function of crash sensors aka impact sensor, how to diagnose SRS issues, and be able to know whether front crash sensor replacement after a collision is required. Having completed the earlier task to replace the airbag after the accident, I am almost through my workplan for restoring the SRS in this accidented 2017 Accord.

Okay, this was very informative. I had never heard about crash sensors before now. Can't wait for the next video, we get to see what the SRS module looks like. I bet it's going be yellow 😂

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

😂 😂 😂 Sure, there some yellow on it! Thanks!

Many thanks. Take care!

Many thanks!!!

[@ZombieHonda]

Thanks for the great videos and nice job with your Honda doing things the right way! Do you know with the Autel tools can you clear the SRS modules to new? Or can you get a clean file and upload it with the tool? I would like to avoid having to send in the modules for additional cost. Thanks!

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks a lot for the compliment! Sadly you won't be able to clear crash data with this nor upload a clean file to the SRS module. Dedicated tools are required. I had to send mine off for reset before I fit it back in the car.

[@CarlosGomez-kt4nx]

Great video,I got a enormous Question:I got a 2014 Honda pilot accident in the front nothing major just cosmetic and also and the right side fender took it to the body shop and they fixed but now I got the airbag light on and and they say is because I got a accident before (not true got the Carfax)and they refuse to fixed.I know for a fact that there where no lights before I took the car to them,there's no airbags deploy it .they took it to the dealership and they say is going to be 6,000 dollars just to fixed even the seatbelt.what can I do to fix it myself,I work in a machinery shop I can do most of the work .need help thanks.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for the compliment. On your 2014 Pilot. 2 questions, did any airbags deploy or the seatbelt? Were you wearing the seatbelt during the accident? If you are sure the airbag light wasn't on after the accident before you took it to the body shop and no airbags or seat belts deployed. It will be good to get a scan with a tool that has access to SRS. A scan will tell the state of all the SRS components and reveal why the light is on. Let's hope they didn't deploy an airbag accidentally while fixing the car. A scan first. May also just be a coincidence that something like that there's a short in the driver squib which can happen as cars age or maybe poor connection/an unplugged SRS component. In summary start with a SRS scan.

Any ideas where I can find the rear crash sensor location on a 2016 buick enclave ? Any advice greatly appreciated no airbags deployed but did turn on service airbag indicator on dash will I have to replace anything else?

Not aware of cars having rear crash sensors.

hey, I subscribe! very nice explanation, can you help me out? where can I get curtain airbag for 2013-2015 BMW X1, because the pick a part here don`t sell to us?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks! I guess you may have to try the dealer or online stores for used ones e.g Ebay. Junkyards are also potential supplies.

[@gurunganita9364]

I have honda crv 2017, Does the airbag gonna deploy by itself if i didn't fix it well? I know i need to replace left front impact sensor. I'm kind of scared that my whole srs system will go off if anything goes while replacing sensor. Also do i have to code again for new sensor?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Considering that in rare circumstances, airbag can deploy randomly, I'd say its possible for a bad fix to deploy an airbag. Defective crash sensors may also contribute to this. If OEM parts are used and due process followed, things should go well, however, it may be best to have a professional handle the repair if you don't have the know-how.

[@handyishrandyish334]

Do the impact sensors need to be programmed to the vehicle or are they plug and play

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Plug & play. No programming required.

[@marcing4287]

Does airbag module must be replaced too ? or just airbag and srs sensor on the front ??

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

The module must be replaced or crash data in the old unit cleared. I covered the proper way to restore the SRS after an accident here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYqYgmdofr-hpas

[@tonysalinas1160]

Quick question I need to replace the one on the passenger side is that the right or left sensor?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It's the right if you country drives on the left side of the road.

[@edgarvite6607]

I replaced my airbags and reset module except impact sensors is it safe to reconnect my battery and start my car I’m afraid that bad sensor can deploy all airbags is that possible?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Well, not all impact sensors should be replaced after an accident. E.g. Acura/Honda, Audi, Chrysler, Ford, Infinity/Nissan, Lexus, Mazda, and Toyota, say their sensors will reset themselves soon after the accident except if they were damaged. Confirming damage may be another matter. I replaced mine out of an abundance of caution plus not knowing if they were damaged in the accident. Some other manufacturers recommend replacing impact sensors after every accident irrespective of damage. Were there any other SRS codes apart from the airbag? Ideally they should be fixed before installing a cleared module. In terms of whether airbags will deploy if you reconnect the battery, I really can't say. A malfunctioning impact sensor can do that especially if the car does not have a safing sensor whose work is to confirm that the signal from the crash sensor is legit.

[@Theferg1]

Hey bro can you program keys with that programmer you have? Thanks

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Yes, it can, but it depends on the car.

[@myvintageromance1]

Hi there! Do you know where the sensor is located in a 2009 honda accord?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Not exactly. The 7th gen had theirs by the sides of the radiator, you could visualise it by looking down the sides of the radiator in the engine bay. Maybe see if they kept that location given the similarities with the engine.

[@williamghau1150]

Did you have to replace your airbag module?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

If by airbag module you mean the SRS module, no. I just had the crash data cleared. Did a video on that too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ67layKbbSLirc

[@samuel9588]

From my understanding 3 things need to be replaced after the event of deployed airbags 1) airbags 2) airbag module (it can be reset) 2a) seatbelt tensioner if deployed might need to be rewound and reset 3) crash sensors (some can be reset)

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Well said! The crash sensors usually reset themselves on such cars.

[@pradeepmina8364]

@@DIYAutoworksNG sir can we reuse the sensors after accident and airbag deployment

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It depends on the manufacturer's recommendation. If the manufacturers recommends reusing and they are not damaged plus no crash sensor codes, you should be good.

[@angelbernard8333]

Where did your order your sensors

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I believe it was either hondapartsnow.com or hondapartscheap.com

Good video are they expensive

Thanks, mate. Not expensive at all. Even if they were, considering these save lives, won't mind the extra cost.

I'm working on a car that was in an accident. No airbags deployed, but front bumper/fender was damaged, and SRS sensor looked like it was damaged as well. Replaced the action crash bracket and SRS sensor, but SRS light still on. Got a fancy OBD reader, where I can go specifically to Airbag settings to reset. Code clears, then I turn off car and turn bag on and it gives same error: No signal from right front impact sensor. Any thoughts? 2020 civic sedan ex 4dr turbo

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

If you're 100% the new sensor you put in is OEM, check the connector/wiring from the sensor to ensure it didn't get damaged.

hi. I have a used CRV 2021 black edition. The seller claims that the car had never being in an accident . I have always the " air bag system SRS problem " and upon system check , we got the error code B00A0-54 . can this happen without an accident ? he tried to erase the code like you did, but it never disappears.......the dealer couldn't handle this either. Can i use the car normally like the and ignore this error? how can I fix it ?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

B00A0-54 refers to the passenger SWS. A quick online search shows fhe code may occur without an accident. The SWS needs to be initialized using a scan tool. Code means the passenger airbag may not function correctly in the event of an accident.

[@hikmaatadmin7620]

Receiving b280a no signal from safling sensor. Have you ever experienced this before? Same car as the video

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I haven't, but the safing sensor is a critical sensor in the SRS. It stops the airbag from deploying when you hit things like a curb etc. I'd replace or check the wiring. I think the location is in the rear of the car if I recall.

[@hikmaatadmin7620]

@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks, I have 4 dtcs, I replaced the 2 front impact sensors and tried to erase the front impact codes but is fails. Do you think the safling is preventing the erase?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You won't be able to erase the code. They are hard codes, they will only go when the crash data in the SRS module have been cleared using special tools. I did a video on how to restore your SRS after a collision, might be helpful to watch.

[@hikmaatadmin7620]

@@DIYAutoworksNG forgot to mention it in my previous post. I did get the srs module reset. Only difference i noticed that the passenger airbag light stopped flashing after the reset service.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Asides impact sensors, what other code do you have? Safing sensor alone? We're you wearing a seatbelt?

[@cesiumion]

I replaced the front right airbag impact sensor on my 2015 accord but it got blown immediately as I connected the battery and tried to start the car. What could be wrong??

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Not exactly sure, but I'd be keen to know the other codes in the SRS module. What made you say it blew, audible pop?

[@cesiumion]

@@DIYAutoworksNG yes an audible pop. The code I get with the scan tool is b0095-87. That's for the front right impact sensor and that's the only code there is.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I did some digging and found that a short in the impact sensor circuit can be responsible for the code. Try to rule this out. Perhaps there's a short triggering the impact sensor. Worst case scenario is a bad srs module.

[@cesiumion]

@@DIYAutoworksNG OIC. that's an expensive repair if I have to replace the module. I'm going to try to replace the pigtail first and see if that's would solve the issue. I appreciate your feedback. I'll update you once if have the pigtail.
