Driver Airbag Module (DAB) and Clock Spring Description and Operation

~1min read

Description

The driver airbag (DAB) is installed in the steering wheel and is electrically connected to the SRSCM through the clock spring. It protects the driver by deploying the airbag in a frontal collision. The SRSCM determines deployment of the driver airbag (DAB).
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the airbag module circuit (squib), even if you use the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious injury.
