Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consist of an inflatable air bag
assembly and an inflator (a canister of gas±generating
material and an initiating device). When the vehicle is in a
frontal crash of sufficient force.
The SDM causes current flow through the deployment
loops. Current passing through the inflator ignites the
material in the air bag assembly. The gas produced from
this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembly
connector which connects the SRS coil assembly. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembly
circuits when driver air bag assembly connector is
disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in this
way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag
when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the steering
column or other SRS components.
827RS008There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly connector which connects to the SRS harness.The shorting clip shorts across the passenger air bag
assembly circuit when the passenger air bag assembly
connector is disconnected. The circuit to the passenger
air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the
passenger air bag assembly, the instrument panel or
other SRS components.

Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock exceeding
a specified level, the controller lets current flow to the
inflation circuit. The current ignites the cylinder of the seat
belt, producing gas. The gas helps tighten the seat belt to
restrain firmly the driver's upper half in his seat.
