APDTY 601314 is a brand-new front impact crash (discriminating) sensor for 2007–2008 full-size GM SUVs stamped 15854647. It mounts to the radiator support behind the front bumper and is part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS) that signals the airbag control module in a frontal impact. It replaces GM numbers 85598011 and 15854647.
Key Takeaways
- What it is: a front impact/crash discriminating sensor — an SRS airbag-system component, not an engine sensor.
- Critical fitment check: the electrical connector notches must match the photo, and the original must be stamped 15854647. If the connector doesn't match, it is not the correct part for your vehicle.
- Fits: 2007–2008 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon (USA models stamped 15854647).
- Safety: this is an airbag (SRS) part. Diagnose with a scan tool and follow factory SRS procedures — do not guess.

What does a front impact crash sensor do?
A front impact crash (discriminating) sensor detects the severity and characteristics of a frontal collision and reports that information to the airbag control module. The module uses these signals — along with other sensors — to decide whether and how to deploy the airbags and tension the seat belts. Because it's a discriminating sensor, its job is to help the system tell a genuine crash from a minor bump. It mounts to the radiator support behind the front bumper, on the left or right depending on application.
What are the symptoms of a failed crash sensor?
A faulty or damaged front impact sensor may cause:
- An illuminated airbag / SRS warning light
- A stored SRS trouble code referencing a front/frontal impact sensor circuit
- SRS faults after front-end collision damage or corrosion at the mounting location
A crash sensor is commonly replaced after collision damage or when diagnosis traces an SRS code to that sensor or its circuit. As with all airbag work, a code points to a circuit or system — not automatically to one failed part — so proper diagnosis is required before replacement.
What vehicles does APDTY 601314 fit?
APDTY product data lists APDTY 601314 (stamped 15854647) as compatible with USA models of:
- 2007–2008 Cadillac Escalade
- 2007–2008 Chevrolet Avalanche
- 2007–2008 Chevrolet Suburban
- 2007–2008 Chevrolet Tahoe
- 2007–2008 GMC Yukon
It replaces GM 85598011 and 15854647. Verify against the live APDTY compatibility chart before ordering.
How do I confirm APDTY 601314 is the right sensor?
This is the single most important check for this part. Match the electrical connector on the new sensor to the photo and to your original — the connector notches must match. Confirm your original sensor is stamped 15854647. If the connector notches or the stamped number do not match, this is not the correct sensor for your specific model, even if the year, make, and model appear to line up. GM used more than one sensor configuration across similar trucks, so the connector and stamp are what actually confirm fitment.

How is APDTY 601314 installed?
This is a general overview only — SRS work must follow the vehicle's factory service procedure.
- Diagnose first. Confirm with a scan tool that the SRS code points to the front impact sensor or its circuit.
- Follow SRS safety steps. Turn off the ignition, disconnect the battery, and wait the manufacturer-specified time before servicing SRS components.
- Access the sensor at the radiator support behind the front bumper (left or right per application).
- Match the connector notches and stamp (15854647) between old and new before installing.
- Install the new sensor, torque the fastener to factory spec, and reconnect the connector fully.
- Reconnect the battery, clear codes, and confirm the SRS light goes out.
Important safety warning
APDTY 601314 is a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component. The airbag system is safety-critical; incorrect diagnosis, wrong parts, or improper installation can prevent proper airbag deployment or cause unexpected behavior. Use a scan tool capable of reading SRS codes and follow factory service procedures. If you are not equipped to service the airbag system, have the part installed by a qualified technician.
Frequently asked questions
What does APDTY 601314 replace?
It replaces GM front impact crash sensor numbers 85598011 and 15854647 on compatible 2007–2008 Escalade, Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon models (USA, stamped 15854647).
How do I know it fits my truck?
Match the electrical connector notches to the photo and confirm your original sensor is stamped 15854647. If the connector or stamp does not match, it is not the correct part for your vehicle.
Is APDTY 601314 an airbag part?
Yes. It is a front impact crash sensor within the SRS. Follow factory airbag safety procedures and diagnose with a scan tool.
Where is the sensor located?
It mounts to the radiator support behind the front bumper, on the left or right depending on the application.
Will it turn off my airbag light?
It can, if the SRS light and code are caused by a failed front impact sensor and the code is cleared after replacement. The system must be diagnosed first.
