Your Nissan’s Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) communicates sudden, rough decelerations to your car's computer system. Your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is an important piece of your collision safety system and can help offer protection to you and your passengers in front-end collisions. In most Nissans, the Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) can be spotted toward the front of your car below the air duct intake or behind your front fender.
Your car's Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front), also commonly referred to as the inertia sensor or front crash sensor, detects frontal impact and communicates data to the air bag control unit, which then deploys your Nissan’s airbags. In collisions, your air bags work in tandem with your seatbelt to reduce the likelihood of serious bodily harm by counteracting rapid forward motion. In other words, your air bags work to reduce injury to the most important cargo part of your car: your passengers and you!
