hey guys,
i tried to locate a picture or a more detail location of the front airbag sensors yes the search option *beat ya to it*. I read on one post that they are in the front bumper, I have a sensor that is throwing a Bu1000 code i think it was, about performance, it is coming and going as it pleases so im leaning to a bad plug/dirt/water in it, we had some nasty rains when the light first came on. Does anybody have a pic or a more detailed location of where the actual sensor is?

Thanks ahead of time

Should be mounted to the bottom of the Radiatior/Core Support....1 on Each Side of the Radiator if I remember right... Hope this helps!

awesome thanks Guys! 12 pack for each of you! I wish.. anyways thanks again and hopefully this will help somebody else who is searching for these things...

so when i finally got around to putting that sensor in, the light is working off and on. Now im getting a U1000 code and a U1301 code.. any ideas where to start looking. All the info i can find is its something about a battery high ground in the data 2 comm. link or something like that. Any ideas where to start looking would be great. I really would hate to take it to the stealership for a bad connection or something..

Hey chris, my drivers side sensor just went out on me, do you still have the part number, or do you know the exact name of what you replaced? i cant find sensors anywhere. all i can find is the connector at a few online shops. thanks.

more specific:
one of the modules could have a bad connection (error code U1000):
- BCM
- Digital Radio Receiver
- Driver Door Module (DDM)
- Electronic Brake Controle Module (EBCM)
- Front Passenger Door Module (FPDM)
- Hvac Control Module
- Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- Memory Seat Module (MSM)
- Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
- The Radio
- The Radio Amplifier
- The rear seat audio controller (RSA)
- the rear seat entertainment assembly (w/u42 (RSE)
- The rear wheel steering control module
- remote plaback device - cd plater w/u1s
- transfer case shift control module
- Transmission control module (TCM)
- Theft deterrent control module
- vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) w/Ue1

check all fuses and relays for the above modules. check connections at same modules. if you messed with any of the above, recheck it.

DTC 1301:
- No Valid Message received from modules or high/low voltage exists on line. check connections and fuses

Thanks for the Info. That saved me. have a rejection sticker because of the new laws in MA. (any error on the data stream is a fail)

i found the part number, which was of not much help while searching ( 15715058 )

but search for description : Mechanical Catalog - 2003 - Chevrolet/Geo - Silverado 1500
Electrical, Restraint systems, Supplemental restraint system, Front sensor, Front sensor, all models, w/o 2 body raised is what comes up.

Found this on GMpartsdirect.com.

hope that helps someone.
