Testing auxiliary signals
Testing crash signal wiring
The crash signal ("Crash switch-off triggered") is transmitted to the engine control unit by the airbag control unit.
If the airbag control unit transmits the crash signal to the engine control unit (in case of an accident or if a final control diagnosis for the airbag system is carried out), the engine control unit switches off the fuel pump. The engine stops but can be restarted immediately (e.g. to move the vehicle out of the danger zone).
