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.
