Drivers Air Bag Module

The driver, passenger and side air bag modules consist of the following components which cannot be disassembled:
^ inflator
^ bag
^ container
^ cover

Driver And Passenger Air Bag Module Inflator:

The inflator is screwed into a metal cup-shaped container. The bag is then folded on top of the inflator and the whole subassembly is enclosed by the cover.

The driver air bag module is fitted to the steering wheel, the cover forming the outer surface of the steering wheel boss. The cover has invisible 'split lines' moulded in its surfaces allowing the air bag to easily exit through the cover when the system deploys.







The supplemental restraint system fitted to the vehicle will communicate faults/concerns by the air bag control module during a driving cycle or after initial key ON by means of a warning indicator contained within the instrument cluster.







If a concern is detected, the air bag control module will communicate by flashing the warning indicator to give a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
