B. PASSENGER AIRBAG (PAB)
The passenger airbag module is located below the
dashboard; above the glove box and its functioning
is controlled by the SRS ECU. A bag within the mod-
ule inflates to protect the passenger in the event of a
collision severe enough to deploy the system.
Within the passenger airbag module is a squib
which, when given the correct current by the SRS
ECU, inflates the airbag by initiating a chemical reac-
tion. In deployment, the airbag inflates within a frac-
tion of a second and then deflates at a controlled
rate as the passenger body regions; typically head
and chest interact with airbag. Vents in the airbag
control its deflation.
The SRS ECU regularly applies a test current to the
passenger airbag squib to confirm continuity of the
ignition circuitry.
