RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
75-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Driver airbag module
The driver airbag module is located in the steering wheel and is controlled by the DCU. A bag within the module
inflates to protect the driver in the event of a collision severe enough to deploy the system.
The driver airbag module connects to the steering column wiring harness via a rotary coupler.
Within the driver airbag module is a squib which, when given the correct current by the DCU, inflates the airbag by
initiating a chemical reaction. In deployment, the airbag inflates within a fraction of a second and then deflates at a
controlled rate as the weight of the driver presses against the bag. Vents in the bag control airbag deflation.
The DCU regularly applies a test current to the driver airbag squib to confirm continuity of the ignition circuitry.
The DCU is capable of detecting a short to ground, a short to battery and an open circuit for the driver airbag module
squib. It will also identify if the configuration of the DCU differs from that actually fitted to the vehicle.
The DCU also stores the following additional information on each fault:
lA count indicating the number of times the fault has occurred.
lA start time and an end time for the fault to indicate duration of the fault.
