SRS 3 10.2.3 FRONT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE AIRBAGS (If Applicable) General: Side airbags are located on both front seats and their function is controlled by the SRS ECU. A bag within the module inflates to protect the occupant in the event of a collision severe enough to deploy the system. Within the 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. Vents in the airbag control its deflation.
