Airbag ECU
:- It is fitted in the floor of central console in the car. The Airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls
the deployment system to allow an appropriate igniting of the Airbags and belt pre-tensioners to restrain the driver
and passengers.
PADI
(Passenger Airbag Deactivation Indicator):- Passenger Airbag Deactivation Indicator is provided in the Fascia
Switch or in SBR display & gives the visual indication to the occupants on the deactivation status of the Passenger
Airbag. This indication will glow, if the Passenger Airbag is deactivated.
PADS
(Passenger Airbag Deactivation Switch):- Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) Switch is provided on the left
side of dashboard. Passenger Airbag should be deactivated if a child is seated in the Front Passenger seat (Since, in
case of an impact, the deployed airbag will hit the child directly on his head with a heavy force, which can be
dangerous to the child). Passenger Airbag can be deactivated by turning the PADS switch in anti -clockwise direction
using the Ignition Key. It can be re-activated by turning the PADS switch in clockwise direction using the Ignition key.
SBR Display
:- SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) display gives visual indication to the occupants regarding the Seat belt
buckle status of front & rear passengers & also the PAD Switch status.
Preliminary Checks:-
1. Check Battery Voltage (12 V & above)
2. Check for any faults in Airbag Warning Lamp indication in Instrument Cluster.
