Description

Side airbags (SAB) are installed inside the front seats to protect the driver and front passenger from injury in a side collision. The SRSCM determines side airbag deployment using the Side Impact Sensor (SIS) signal.
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the airbag module (squib) circuit, even with the specified tester. Measuring the circuit resistance with a tester may cause accidental airbag deployment, which can result in serious injury.
