Component Function
Air bag diagnosis sensor unit  Detects a collision and supplies power supply for deployment to air bag module and
pre-tensioner seat belt.
 It contains the “G” sensors for both frontal and side collisions and spare battery function in case of main battery damage in collision.
Combination meter (air bag warning lamp) Indicates air bag malfunctioning and deployment by blinking and illuminating air bag
warning lamp.
Combination switch (spiral cable) Supplies power supply to driver air bag module on steering wheel.
Crash zone sensor  Transmits signal to air bag diagnosis sensor unit when a frontal collision occurs.
 Crash zone sensor is a G sensor that outputs voltage signal during deceleration at
the time of a vehicle frontal collision that is more than the specified limit is detected.
Curtain air bag module (front/rear)  Deploys according to collision judgment of G sensor, and safing sensor.
 Receives collision signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit, ignites, and burns ig-
nition material by electric ignition system, when side collision exceeds setting limit
of the vehicle. Gas is generated by chemical reaction of ignition material, passes
filter, and deploys air bag.
 Air bag module mainly consists of air bag and inflator that deploys air bag.
Driver air bag module  Receives signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit and deploys air bag.
 In case of frontal collision where acceleration is more than the specified level, the
ignition materials are ignited by electric ignition system. The system burns the gas
generating materials resulting in a chemical reaction. This generates hot gases that
flow into the air bag through a filter and expand the bag.
Occupant detection system control unit Detects front passenger seat occupant.
Passenger air bag module  Receives signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit and deploys air bag.
 In case of frontal collision where acceleration is more than the specified level, the
ignition materials are ignited by electric ignition system. The system burns the gas
generating materials resulting in a chemical reaction. This generates hot gases that
flow into the air bag through a filter and expand the bag.
Passenger air bag OFF indicator Indicates whether or not passenger air bag is in the activation mode based on the
judgement of occupant classification system.
Satellite sensor (front/rear)  Transmits signal to air bag diagnosis sensor unit when a side collision occurs.
 When air bag diagnosis sensor unit defines both signal voltage of the “G” sensor,
and the safing algorithm to be that of collision which is more than the specified lev-
el, the driving circuit switches on and feeds the electric ignitor of both the side air
bag and curtain air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
Seat belt buckle switch LH/RH Controls deployment timing depending on the seat belt condition that is fastened or
unfastened.
Seat belt pre-tensioner LH/RH  Receives signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit and deploys seat belt pre-ten-
sioner.
 In the case of a frontal collision or side collision or roll over that exceeds specified impact level, the air bag diagnosis sensor unit detects the deceleration caused by
collision. It restrains the passenger with seat belt easing the stress on passengers
chest with load limiter.

Side air bag module LH/RH Receives signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit and deploys air bag.
 In case of side collision where acceleration is more than the specified level, the ig-
nition materials are ignited by electric ignition system. The system burns the gas
generating materials resulting in a chemical reaction. This generates hot gases that
flow into the air bag through a filter and expand the bag.
Lap pre-tensioner LH/RH  Receives signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit and deploys lap pre-tensioner.
 In the case of a frontal collision or side collision or roll over that exceeds specified
impact level, the air bag diagnosis sensor unit detects the deceleration caused by
collision. It restrains the passenger with seat belt easing the stress on passengers
chest with load limiter.
 Lap pre-tensioner upgrades passenger restrain function by reducing movement of lumber during a frontal collision or side collision or roll over.

System Description
INFOID:0000000006219951
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS ) activates air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner when it detects a
frontal collision or a side collision or rollover that is more than the specified limit. Together with other safety
devices, it reduces the impact that occup ant receives when vehicle collision occurs.
Air bag diagnosis sensor unit supplies power supply to air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt when decel-
eration that is more than the specified limit is detec ted by G sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit, crash
zone sensor, or satellite sensor. Air bag module is composed of electric igniter (squib), filter, pyrotechnic mate-
rial, and gas generating material. When air bag module re ceives a signal from air bag diagnosis sensor unit,
air bag module ignites pyrotechnic material using electric igniter (squib) so that gas generating material gener-
ates high temperature nitrogen gas. The gas through filter activates air bag. At the same time, pre-tensioner
seat belt receives power supply from air bag diagnosis sensor unit, gasgenerator is activated, and then gas is
generated. Balls in pipe are moved according to generated gas pressure and strike pinion gear on ELR shaft.
ELR shaft rotates and retracts seat belt.
AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT FUNCTIONS
Air bag diagnosis sensor unit has the following functions.
 Detects a collision and supplies the energy for deploying air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
 Detects and records electrical malfunction in air bag system and seat belt pre-tensioner system, and blinking
air bag warning lamp.
 Detects and records the deployment of air bag and s eat belt pre-tensioner, and turns ON air bag warning
lamp.
 Indicates malfunctioning portion via the number of blin ks from the air bag warning lamp in the diagnosis
mode.
 Indicates the malfunction record via CONSULT-III.
COLLISION MODES
The operation of SRS is different depending on the collision modes applications.
SRS configurations that are activa ted for the following collision modes.
×: Apply —: Not apply
OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM
This Occupant Detection System has the following functions.
1. Suppress the deployment of front passenger air bag w hen front passenger seat is empty, or when occu-
pied by child and child-seat. Turns ON front passenger air bag OFF indicator when front passenger seat is
occupied by child-seat and child.
2. Indicates malfunction portion with blinking times of air bag warning lamp in diagnosis mode.
3. Indicates the malfunctioning record by CONSULT-III.
4. When “zero point reset” for occupant detection system is incomplete, CONSULT-III indicates that “zero
point reset” is incomplete.
This function is applied to NISSAN genuine parts only.
