* Crash Sensors (Accelerometers): These are typically located within the vehicle's frame, often near the front and rear bumpers, and sometimes under the dashboard. They're not easily visible and require significant disassembly to access. You'll likely need a repair manual to pinpoint their precise location.
* Occupant Sensors (Seatbelt Buckle Switches): These are embedded in the seatbelt buckles themselves. They detect if someone is buckled in and can influence airbag deployment.
* Other Sensors: There might be additional sensors within the steering wheel, related to airbag deployment, but these are also not readily accessible.
You should NOT attempt to locate or work on these sensors yourself unless you are a qualified mechanic. Airbag systems are complex and potentially dangerous; improper handling can lead to serious injury or even death.
If you suspect a problem with your airbag system, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or dealership immediately. They have the proper tools and knowledge to diagnose and repair the system safely.
