11.1.6.2.3. AIR BAGS
A. DRIVER AIR BAG (DAB)
The driver airbag module is located in the steering
wheel and its function is controlled by the SRS
ECU. 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 called
as clock spring. Within the driver airbag module is
a squib which, when given the correct current by
the SRS ECU, inflates the airbag by initiating a
chemical reaction. In deployment, the airbag
inflates within a fraction of a second and then
deflate at a controlled rate as the driver 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 driver airbag squib to confirm continuity of the
ignition circuitry.
