III AIR BAGS
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 igni-
tion circuitry.
