Question **Yellow module???**

I took off the plastics under the fender-well and i noticed a yellow module with yellow wire loom running along on each side!!
Does anyone know what these are??

Thanks!

I am a mecp certified installer and most commonly yellow loom is used for caution "Air Bag" Please do not cut or remove unless you know this is what you want to do. You might want to check in to it in more depth but past experience is what I am going with.

The yellow module you speak of is definitely your airbag sensor. They are located on both front corners of the SC. Be easy with the looms.

Future reference. Don't quote spamers, you are saving their lame hyperlinks when quoting them.

Okay back to "Don't cut the "yellow wire" while staring at your steering wheel." With our host ekrebs.

Yellow means airbags. The IS350 seat I have has an airbag, and has a yellow connector and wire.

turn your car on and hit the yellow thing with a hammer... JK dont do that. thats for the air bags, like mentioned above. there are also yellow wires inside the car too all the yellows are basically related to the air bag..
