Driver's Side Airbag

OPERATION
The driver side airbag module, located in the center of the steering wheel, contains the airbag cushion and its supporting components.
- The airbag cushion and inflator are attached to and sealed by the airbag module housing.

The driver side inflator is mounted on the back of the module housing.

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.

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