To replace the airbag crash sensor on a 2008 Chevy Silverado, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Then, locate the crash sensor, typically found near the front of the vehicle, either under the hood or behind the front bumper. Remove the mounting bolts and disconnect the electrical connector, then install the new sensor by reversing the process. Finally, reconnect the battery and reset any airbag fault codes if necessary.
I'm also having the same issue on my 2005 Chevy Tahoe. The local Chevy dealership stated the error code is a result of a failed front crash sensor. In my case it was Sensor #2. The cost of the sensor is $125 w/ a $100 installation fee.
It was $150 at the dealership where I bought the car. $240 to replace it with tax and labor.
The front crash sensor is located inside the airbag control module.
Time for a new dealer?
The Chevy Equinox boosts a four star crash safety rating, the highest for any vehicle in it's class.
Crash the vehicle but make sure your seatbelt is on. If airbag deploys, then the sensors were good. Replace all components and repeat.
It means the primary crash sensor circuit has had a short to ground, possibly an activated crash sensor due to a crash detected, and then the issue has gone away, in other words, it is intermittant. If there has been no crash then there may be an intermittant issue with that crash sensor, or the crash sensor cicuit wiring. The fault code may be cleared to see if the issue returns. The companion code to a 54 is a code 14. When there is a short that occurs, the lamp should flash a 14 at first, then begin flashing the 54 when the short goes away.
The crash sensor could be located under the hood somewhere
Under the driver seat.
You should replace a bike helmet after a crash, even if there are no visible signs of damage, as the impact may have compromised its ability to protect you in the future.
Yes, it is recommended to replace your helmet after a crash, even if there are no visible signs of damage. The impact from a crash can compromise the helmet's ability to protect you in future accidents. It's better to be safe and get a new helmet to ensure your safety.
i do believe it is in front by grill and radiator
