Passenger's Side Airbag

OPERATION
This bag assembly utilizes a canister of a compressed, inert gas to inflate the bag, instead of the sodium azide charge used previously.

The pressure of the canister is monitored by a non-serviceable pressure switch, which is built into the canister. The pressure switch is wired to and monitored by the air bag control module.

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 over the airbag module.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
Two circuits, R42 and R44, connect the Air-Bag Control Module (ACM) to the passenger's side

Airbag squib (igniter). Circuit R42 from cavity 1 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. Circuit R44 from cavity 2 of the ACM 4-way connector connects to the squib. H42 and R44 are a twisted pair of wires.
