Wrong sensor.

This one's for the sensor at the cowl ( center of if at base of windshield.)


DTC 42: CENTER RADIATOR PRIMARY CRASH SENSOR FEED/RETURN OPEN


Normal Operation

The voltage at Pin 18 (Circuit 619, PK/W) is approximately 10 volts (± 1 volt). Circuit 619 is connected to Circuit 625 (Y/LG) inside center radiator primary crash sensor. Therefore, the voltage at Pin 6 should be the same as the voltage at Pin 18. If the voltage at Pin 6 is lower than the voltage at Pin 18, the air bag diagnostic monitor will flash code 42.


Possible Causes

Low voltage on Pin 6 can be caused by:

(1) An open circuit in the wiring harness in either Circuit 619 (PK/W) or Circuit 625 (Y/LG).

(2) An open circuit in center radiator primary crash sensor across the PK/W and Y/LG wires.



Make certain you remove battery power before messing with it.

Oops!!

OOPS!!

Looks like I posted the wrong info above combined with the correct info.

Use the part that I copied fromnt he service CD ands not the reference to the cowl location.

Sorry for confusing them....
