Circuit Operation

DRIVER SIDE
Two circuits, R43 and R45, connect the Airbag Control Module (ACM) to the driver's side Airbag squib (igniter) after passing through the clock spring connector. Circuit R43 from cavity 4 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. Circuit R45 from cavity 3 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. R43 and R45 are a twisted pair of wires.

When supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator produces a gas and discharges it directly into the cushion. A decorative, protective cover is fitted on the front of the driver airbag module housing.

PASSENGER SIDE
Two circuits, R42 and R44, connect the Airbag Control Module (ACM) to the passenger's side Airbag squib (igniter). Circuit R42 from cavity 2 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. Circuit R44 from cavity 1 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. R42 and R44 are a twisted pair of wires.
