6.  CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The center airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor
inside the console box. The center airbag sensor assembly
consists of a center airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis
circuit and ignition control, drive circuit, etc. It receives signals
from the airbag sensors and judges whether the SRS must
be activated or not.

All connectors in the SRS are colored yellow to distinguish
them from other connectors. Connectors having special func-
tions and specifically designed for SRS are used in the loca-
tions shown below to ensure high reliability. These connec-
tors use durable gold±plated terminals.
