Can someone tell me what the senson or platic piece is that is located on the vertical radiator support. It is a couple of inches down from the top and appears to be a sensor of some kind. Thanks

 

Airbag crash sensor

 

Its the ambient air temp sensor.

 

OK, now I am confused????

 

it is the air temp sensor.

 

I know for a fact the air bag crash sensor is mounted in the vertical support. I don't remember right now if the temp sensor is also (to late to go out and look right now), but it could be, so both answers might be right. The A/B sensor is mounted lower down on the vertical support, not that close to the top.

 

Thank you all for your help

 

The one on the top is the outside thermometer. The one on the bottom (mine has a barcode on it) is the airbag crash sensor.

 

Haven't looked at mine lately. But, the airbag wiring is usually decent sized wiring and is usually yellow or yellow with a stripe. It's the only wiring in the vehicle that is this color so it is easily identified so you know to stay away from it.

 

Well said
