the fuel line. The battery cable is monitored by the crash safety module.
Depending on the type of vehicle, the battery cable is made from copper or aluminium and insulated with plastic.
The plastic insulation is covered by a low impedance metal braiding which serves as the monitoring wire. The
battery cable is then covered with a second insulation layer made from plastic. This is the external insulation
layer.
A connection wire is provided at both ends of the monitoring wire. Both connection lines are connected to the
crash safety module.
