Crash sensors can be fitted in various positions throughout the vehicle. Their location depends upon the direction of deceleration they are designed to detect. Where are the side impact sensors likely to be found?

It depends on the vehicle model. Side-impact crash sensors may be located in the ECU, the door, the doorsill, or between the front and rear doors. Some vehicles have sensing strategies include installing sensors on three locations: one at the center of the side door, one just before the A-pillar, and one just after the B-pillar.
