Airbag crash sensor fault

Post by corneliusshaun » Sat Sep 21, 2019 1:34 pm

Hi all

This has just popped up out of nowhere. Have tried clearing it and it just comes straight back.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where the sensor is positioned and the part number.

Thanks

It's mounted on the back of the radiator support. Look in the engine compartment between the headlight and the air intake, there's a black plastic unit bolted to the back of the support at the top, it has (should have) a yellow wiring plug.
It'll be either 4L0 959 651 or 4F0 959 651 depending on model year.
