System Outline

The SRS is a driver and front passenger protection device which has a supplemental role to the seat belts.

When the ignition SW is turned to ACC or ON, the current from the CIGfuse flows to TERMINAL (A) 6 of the center airbag sensor assembly. Only when the ignition SW is on does the current flow from the IGN fuse to TERMINAL (A) 5 of the center airbag sensor assembly.

If an accident occurs while driving, when the frontal impact exceeds a set level, the current from the CIG or IGN fuse flows to TERMINALS (A) 14, (A) 10, (5) 2 and (C) 5 of the center airbag sensor assembly to TERMINAL 1 of the airbag squibs and the pretensioners to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINALS (A) 13, (A) 11, (B) 1 and (C) 6 of the center airbag sensor assembly to TERMINALS (A) 27, (A) 26 or BODY GROUND to GROUND, so that current flows to the front airbag squibs and the pretensioners and causes them to operate.

The airbag stored inside the steering wheel pad is instantaneously expanded to soften the shock to the driver.

The airbag stored inside the passenger's instrument panel is instantaneously expanded to soften the shock to the front passenger.

The pretensioners make sure of the seat belt restrainability.
