Intrepid V6-201 3.3L Flex Fuel (1994)
Air Bag: Description and Operation
DRIVER SIDE
The driver side airbag module, located in the center of the steering wheel, contains the airbag cushion and its supporting components.
-
The airbag cushion and inflator are attached to and sealed by the airbag module housing.
The driver side inflator is mounted on the back of the module housing.
When supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator produces a gas and discharges it directly into the cushion. A decorative, protective
cover is fitted on the front of the driver airbag module housing.
PASSENGER SIDE -- For early 1994 Models
The passenger inflator assembly is contained in the airbag module housing. The airbag module housing is mounted to the instrument panel
retainer, knee bolster and glove box.
When supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator produces a gas and discharges it directly into the cushion. A decorative, protective
cover is fitted over the airbag module.
PASSENGER SIDE -- For 1994-1/2 Models
This bag assembly utilizes a canister of a compressed, inert gas to inflate the bag, instead of the sodium azide charge used previously.
The pressure of the canister is monitored by a non-serviceable pressure switch, which is built into the canister. The pressure switch is wired to and
monitored by the air bag control module.
When supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator produces a gas and discharges it directly into the cushion. A decorative, protective
cover is fitted over the airbag module.
NOTE: For 1994-1/2 Models: The air bag control module will change part numbers at midyear, when the hybrid passenger air bag is introduced; it is
not interchangeable with the previous part number. Due to the addition of the hybrid bag pressure switch input.
