Thread: 2005 GP crash sensors

Hey All,

Have been working hard on a couple of old GTO's and not doing much with the 05 and 07 Grand Prix's in the "family fleet".

Teenage son had a minor front-end crash in the 05 GP that set air bags off. I am working with a local guy who is parting out a 2006 for the parts we need (air bags, bumper, air bag ecm, clock spring, etc). We are trying to determine the location of the actual crash sensors (many times up near the front bumper), but not having any luck.

I came across this post here in the forum that suggests the sensor is located in an ABS module under the passenger front seat.

Anyone here know if this is also the case for the 2004-2008 Grand Prix?

Thank you!

its under the front pass seat, and then under the carpet. its the only one.

+me, I believe the only inertia switch is contained in the SIR module under the seat.

Correction, my 05' only has 1 but I have seen later models with 2.



Just in case here is one I pulled a while ago. Looking at it you think it is a temp sensor, but it has a yellow plug and when you remove it you will see this.

Serves me right for venturing outside the 97-03 realm. If it has a yellow connector, thats part of the SIR system. I do know many year to year changes were made as the platform evolved so year-specific documentation would be best.

thanks for the info. So does that mean the 06 sensors on the core support are different from the sensors in my 05?
