OPERATION
1. STEERING WHEEL PAD (with AIRBAG)
The inflater and bag of the SRS are stored in the steering wheel
pad and cannot be disassembled. The inflater contains a squib,
igniter charge, gas generant, etc., and inflates the bag when
instructed by the airbag sensor assembly.
2. SPIRAL CABLE (in COMBINATION SWITCH)
A spiral cable is used as an electrical joint from the vehicle body
side to the steering wheel.
3. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
The inflater and bag of the SRS are stored in the front passen-
ger airbag assembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflater
contains a squib, igniter charge and gas generant, etc., and in-
flates the bag when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly.
4. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the cluster finish panel. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly. In normal
operating conditions when the ignition switch is turned to the
ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6 seconds and
then goes off.
5. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
console box. The airbag sensor assembly consists of airbag
sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition control and
drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag sensor and
judges whether the SRS must be activated or not.
