Shorting Bar

There is a shorting bar on the yellow 2-way connector that connects the inflator module to the SIR wiring harness. The shorting bar shorts the circuits to the inflator module during the disconnection of the yellow 2-way connector. The shorting of the inflator module circuitry will help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel, or other SIR system components.
