nemo_arta Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I changed my front wings/ fenders today and found a yellow electric round box up inside the arch way I think I damaged it but I don't know what it is. It's made by denso. The yellow item is now bigger then 2" in circumference. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I would imagine they are to do with the airbag deployment, deceleration/impact sensors perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 it will say SRS Sensor or something on it, which is airbag related, yellow items usually are SRS items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

np89 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Its a circuit breaker essentially. The actual circuit will be completed if the chassis leg contacts the chassis through way of a collision and will complete the circuit blow the sensor and set off the bags. Though at 20 odd years old your airbag circuit probably doesnt work anymore. I think they "typically" have a lofespan of 10 years at which you are "supposed" to get them checked and replaced if necessary. Not true of all cars im sure but thats the procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
