Airbag and Seatbelt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - System Operation and

The front door side impact sensors monitor air pressure within the door in order to detect certain crashes, such as a side impact. Mounting position and orientation is critical for correct operation of the front door side impact sensors.

Side Impact Sensor - Second Row (coupe only)

The second row side impact sensors measure acceleration (g-rate), and are hardwired to the RCM. Mounting position and orientation is critical for correct operation of the second row side impact sensors.

Deployable Steering Column

The deployable steering column includes a device that, once deployed, reduces the amount of force necessary to collapse the steering column during a crash event. The deployable device is activated by the RCM, depending on the driver seat position and the force of the crash. After deployment, a new steering column must be installed.

Driver Airbag

The driver airbag is a dual-stage airbag. Upon receiving a flow of current, it deploys at 1 of 2 different rates, depending upon vehicle impact severity and sensor input.

Driver Knee Airbag

The driver knee airbag is part of the steering column opening trim panel and deploys upon receiving current flow from the RCM.

Passenger Airbag

The passenger airbag is a dual-stage airbag which deploys at 1 of 2 different rates depending upon vehicle impact severity and sensor input.

Passenger Airbag Canister Vent

The passenger airbag canister vent is a deployable device that is part of the passenger airbag. Canister venting controls the inflation rate of the passenger airbag and the escape rate of gases from the airbag. The canister vent cannot be serviced separately from the passenger airbag.

Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) Indicator

The PAD indicator is a LED which is hard-wired to the RCM. The PAD indicator is part of the overhead console and cannot be serviced separately.

Passenger Knee Airbag

The passenger knee airbag is part of the glovebox door and deploys upon receiving current flow from the RCM. The passenger knee airbag is only serviced with the glovebox.

Safety Belt Anchor and Pretensioner

The safety belt anchor pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess of webbing slack from the safety belts when deployed. One is included as part of each front row outboard safety belt assembly and cannot be serviced separately.

To diagnose any pretensioner Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), Refer to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).

Safety Belt Retractor and Pretensioner

The safety belt retractor and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess of webbing slack from the safety belts when deployed. The retractor and pretensioner are serviced together with the front row outboard safety belt assembly.

To diagnose any pretensioner Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), Refer to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).

For any concerns regarding safety belt retractor function,
