Electrical System

The air bag system is powered directly from the battery. The system can function with the ignition switch in any position, including OFF and LOCK. The system can also function when the driver or passenger seats are unoccupied. The electrical system performs three main functions:

- Detects an impact
- Carries electric current to the igniters
- Monitors the system to determine readiness

The electrical system components include:
- Air bag diagnostic monitor with integrated back-up power supply
- Air bag warning indicator
- Wiring harness and passenger side air bag module
- RH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket, LH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket, LH kick panel safing rear air bag sensor and bracket
- The igniter within the driver side air bag module and passenger side air bag module assemblies
