Electrical System
The Supplemental Air Bag Restraint System (SRS) is powered directly from the battery. The SRS can function with the ignition switch in any position, including OFF and LOCK. The SRS can also function when the driver and passenger seats are unoccupied. The electrical system performs three main functions:
- Detects rate of deceleration (impacts)
- Supplies electrical power to the igniter
- Monitors the system to determine system readiness

The electrical system components include:
- Air bag warning indicator
- Wiring harness and air bag sliding contact
- Sensors
- Igniter within driver side air bag module and passenger side air bag module
- Air bag diagnostic monitor
