Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
Front End Sensors
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSORS
The inflatable restraint front end sensors, also known as electronic frontal sensors (EFS), are equipped on vehicles to supplement the SIR system
performance. The front end sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide inputs to the SDM. The front end sensors
can assist in determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM uses the input from the front end sensors to assist in determining the severity
of a frontal collision further supporting air bag deployment. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags.
