Wonder if @NoReverseYukon has any of these available.

Airbag impact sensors

Any chance you still have one of these? I probably do - just need to find 'em. Give me a day or 2.

Did you hit something or drive over something that was in the road? Could've hit one of the sensors.

I wonder if one of the "new" sensors is causing that.

Are any of them bulging at all? Since they're exposed to harsh weather all the time they're susceptible to internal damage.

I haven’t hit anything thankfully. Our roads are pretty jacked up with potholes right now because the city of big bear lake has been majorly slacking in upkeep but I’m pretty particular and go around them as much as possible. I know where they all are at this point haha. Like driving a slalom course

However the sensors were used out of a 2004 Escalade so it is possible one or the other is faulty. They don’t appear to be out of shape or anything from the looking at them. They look identical to the old ones I pulled out. But internally it’s very possible they’re no good. I may make another junkyard run and grab another set. OEM are close to $300 a pop right now and new aftermarket ar eject as much. So gotta do junkyard parts for now in a budget. I did grab warranties on the sensors off the Escalade so I can return them and experiment with another set. Just gotta get an afternoon off to get back down there.

Got airbag codes from the tech 2 last week and some were related to the front impact sensor. 04 esky ESV rolled into the riverside yard and I figured I’d hit the yard and grab its impact sensors. They were gone. Dang it. But lucked out and another 04 shorty esky had sensors intact. Grabbed em. 53 bucks with warranties a piece wasn’t too bad. Not sure if they work though. They’re in and getting them in and out wasn’t bad. Grabbed a ratcheting wrench that made that job easier. The codes directly related to those sensors haven’t shown up but it’s showing these two codes a displaying service air bag across the cluster screen. Photos of the esky sensors and the codes thrown after those got swapped. Weird…..

Are these sensors the same part number that shows up for your truck? There are multiple sensors which are calibrated differently. The shop manual says that SIR components that have been dropped from a height of 31.5 inches or greater ought to be discarded as they may not work properly anymore.

I paid $99 for one in 2021 and $149 for the other in 2024!
