Description and Operation

Description

The main purpose of the SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint System Control Module) is to distinguish between an event that requires deployment of the restraint system and an event that does not. The SRSCM must decide whether or not to deploy the restraint system. When it determines that pretensioners and/or airbag deployment are required, the SRSCM must supply sufficient power to the pretensioners and airbag inflators to start deployment.

The SRSCM determines that an impact may require deployment of the pretensioners and airbags based on data received from the impact sensors and other components in combination with the safing function.

The SRSCM will not be ready to detect a crash or activate the restraint devices until the signals in the SRSCM circuit stabilize.

The SRSCM may be able to activate the restraint devices within approximately 2 seconds, but full operation is guaranteed only after the check is completed.

The SRSCM must perform a diagnostic procedure and turn on the SRS indicator when the ignition is turned on. The system must perform a continuous diagnostic procedure and issue a warning via the warning lamp when a malfunction is detected. Also, the serial diagnostic communication interface will be used to facilitate servicing of the restraint system control unit.
