1. Passenger Airbag (PAB)

Description and Operation

Description

The passenger airbag (PAB) is installed inside the instrument panel and protects the front passenger in the event of a frontal collision. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the PAB.

Never attempt to measure the resistance of the airbag module circuit (squib), even when using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment may cause serious injury.
