Kia Stinger CK: SRSCM / Side Impact Sensor (SIS)

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual / Restraint / SRSCM / Side Impact Sensor (SIS)

Description and operation
Description

Side Impact Sensor (SIS) system consists of two Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS) installed at each center of the front door module (LH and RH), two SIS installed at each center pillar nearby (LH and RH) and two rear SIS installed in the rear pillar (LH and RH).

Pressure Side Impact Sensor is also called P-SIS because it detects pressure from collision at its mounting location.

Side Impact Sensor is also called A-SIS because it detects acceleration.

SRSCM decides deployment of the airbag and the time of deployment through the collision signal of the SIS when the collision occurred.

2. Front Gravity Side Impact Sensor (G-SIS)
3. Rear side Impact Sensor (R-SIS)

Repair procedures
Removal

Front Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Remove the front door trim.

(Refer to Body (Interior and Exterior) - "Front Door Trim")

3.

Remove the pressure side impact sensor (A).

4.

Loosen the side pressure sensor mounting screw, and remove the sensor (A).

Tightening torque :

7.8 - 11.7 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m, 5.7 - 8.6 lb·ft)

Front Gravity Side Impact Sensor (G-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Remove the door scuff trim.

(Refer to Body (Interior and Exterior) - "Door Scuff Trim")

3.

Remove the center pillar trim.

(Refer to Body (Interior and Exterior) - "Center Pillar Trim")

4.

After disconnecting the side impact sensor connector (A) and loosening the bolt (B), remove the sensor.

Tightening torque :

2.9 - 3.9 N·m (0.3 - 0.4 kgf·m, 2.1 - 2.8 lb·ft)

Rear Side Impact Sensor (R-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Remove the rear seat assembly.

(Refer to Body (Interior and Exterior) - "Rear Seat Assembly")

3.

Remove the rear side impact sensor connect (A).

4.

Loosen the rear side impact sensor nut (B), and remove the sensor.

Tightening torque :

7.8 - 11.7 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m, 5.7 - 8.6 lb·ft)

Installation

Front Pressure Side Impact Sensor (P-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

3.

After installing the pressure side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:

• Switch "ON" the ignition. The SRS indicator light should turn on for about six seconds and then off.

  

Comply with the specified tightening torque and use the specified tools. Otherwise, the Pressure Side Impact Sensors (P-SIS) may get broken or the pop-nut may rotate.

Problems may occur with the durability of P-SIS or impact sensing performance if pop-nut is rotated.

The door module must not be transformed because SRSCM judges an impact with the pressure sensor in the door module.

Front Gravity Side Impact Sensor (G-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

3.

After installing the side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:

• Switch "ON" the ignition. The SRS indicator light should turn on for about six seconds and then off.

Rear Side Impact Sensor (R-SIS)

1.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning to work.

2.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

3.

After installing the side impact sensor, confirm proper system operation:

• Switch "ON" the ignition. The SRS indicator light should turn on for about six seconds and then off.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Recommended cold tire inflation pressures

All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or driven less than 1.6 km (one mile). Recommended pressures must be maintained for the best ride, top vehicle handling, and minimum tire wear. For recommended inflation pressure refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter 8.

Repair procedures Removal    In case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don’t do any repair work right after engine stops.    • Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
