Airbag frontsensor Porsche Cayenne s 2004

[Alexander Tobiasson]

Hello.

 

Alex from sweden calling:-)

 

My front airbag sensor is malfunctioning. I've found a used sensor but the part number is slightly different. My part is 7LO909606 and used I have found 7LO909606B. Does anyone know what B does. I have pictures of both sensors if anyone wants to help me with this? 

My car is a Porsche Cayenne S 2004 4.5l 

Used airbag sensor from a 2005 Porsche Cayenne 3.2 V6 

 

Thanks / Alex

Hi Alex,

 

It is not recommended to reuse any SRS parts at all. It not worth the headaches of having to replace the used part or lose your life or loved ones life to save some $$.

Into account that the Porsche Cayenne has had huge problems with that airbag and moisture so it is ridiculous and disrespectful of Porsche to not face the consequences. I have been ridiculed in Sweden of many Porsche dealers who claim that Porsche has never taken back and fixed this known error. I know the Porsche around the world has helped many of the same problems that I have in my car. They do it for free when they were aware of the problem. I have lost confidence in Sweden and do all my repairs myself with good friends. A used or new sensor, what does it matter where the problem lies in the production?

"B" usually indicates an updated part.

Are you positive its a sensor. I had the same fault and read that the 2004 were recalled. My fault was a connector under the passenger seat, a very easy fix, we removed the connector and soldered the wire.

Same on mine.  Records show it was a cheap connector.
