SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

14

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 module 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

reaction. In deployment, the airbag inflates within

a fraction 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.
