Can anyone tell me where the side airbag sensor(s) are located on 2002 Accord sedan 6cy.? And what condition, if any would cause them not to deploy upon impact?

 

The side air bag sensor is on your passenger seat on the right side of it, there is a sensor there where if just amount of pressure is applied it will alert it and turn the air bag off for the side off as long as that sensor is set off.....for instance if a kid was sittin there and fell asleep and slouched to the side onto that sensor it will pick that up and turn it off encase you get hit from the side so that air bag doesnt pop whiles sleepin there sendin him flying inside the car

 

The incident was a straight on impact into the driver's door while vehicle not moving, but in "Drive". No deployment. Do I have a faulty sensor or what?

It depends on the severity of the impact. It takes a pretty good jolt to set them off.
