Vision V6-201 3.3L (1993)
Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Driver and Passenger Airbag System is a supplemental safety device designed to help protect the driver and passenger from serious injury,
caused by a frontal impact of the vehicle. The two front impact sensors provide verification of the direction and severity of the impact. The sensors
are mounted on the headlamp carrier surface on the left and right side of the vehicle under the hood.
OPERATION
The impact sensors are threshold sensitive switches that complete an electrical circuit when an impact provides a sufficient acceleration to close
the switch. The sensors are calibrated for the specific vehicle and react to the severity and direction of the impact.
-
Threshold sensitive switches that complete an electrical circuit when an impact of sufficient G force closes the switch.
-
Calibrated for a specific vehicle, and are therefore not interchangeable.
