General Description

Function Of Components





1. Front Airbag Sensor
A front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the front fenders. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sensor detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit, the contacts in the sensor make contact, sending a signal to the center airbag sensor assembly. The sensor cannot be disassembled.





2. Spiral Cable (In Combination Switch)
A spiral cable is used as an electrical joint from the vehicle body side to the steering wheel.





3. Steering Wheel Pad (With Airbag)
The inflater and bag of the supplemental restraint system are stored in the steering wheel pad and cannot be disassembled. The inflater contains a squib, igniter charge, gas generant. etc., and inflates the bag in case of frontal collision.





4. Front Passenger Airbag Assembly
The inflater and bag of the supplemental restraint system are stored in the front passenger airbag assembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflater contains a squib, igniter charge, gas generant, etc., and inflates the bag in case of a frontal collision.





5. Seat Belt Pretensioner
The seat belt pretensioner system is a component of the front seat outer belt. The pretensioner contains a squib, gas generant, wire, piston, etc., and operates in the event of a frontal collision.





6. SRS Warning Light
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It goes on to alert the driver of trouble system when a malfunction is detected in the center airbag sensor assembly self - diagnosis. In normal operating condition when the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.





7. Center Airbag Sensor Assembly
The center airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the console box. The center airbag sensor assembly consists of a center airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit and ignition control, drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag sensors, judges whether the SRS must be activated or not and diagnosis system malfunctions.









8. SRS Connectors
All connectors in the supplemental restraint system are colored yellow to distinguish them from other connectors. Connectors having special functions and specifically designed for SRS are used in the locations shown below to ensure high reliability. These connectors use durable gold-plated terminals.
