Kia Sportage: Front Impact Sensor (FIS)
Description and Operation
Description
The front impact sensor (FIS) is installed in the Front End Module (FEM).
They are remote sensors that detect
acceleration due to a collision at its mounting location. The primary purpose of
the Front Impact Sensor (FIS) is to
provide an indication of a collision. The Front Impact Sensor (FIS) sends
acceleration data to the SRSCM.

Installation
CAUTION
- Do not turn the ignition switch ON and do not contact the battery
cable while replacing the front impact sensor.
1. Install the new front impact sensor.
2. Tighten the front impact sensor mounting bolt.
Tightening torque:
7.0 ~ 9.0 N.m (0.7 ~ 0.9 kgf.m, 5.1 ~ 6.6 lb-ft)
3. Connect the front impact sensor connector.
4. Install the air duct and air cleaner assembly. (Driver front impact sensor
only)
