Description and Operation of Side Airbag (SAB) Module

~1min read

Description

The side airbags (SAB) are installed inside the front seatbacks and protect the driver and passenger from injury in the event of 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 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.
