Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE (SRSCM)
SRS CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The primary purpose of the advanced SRSCM (Supplemental Restraints System Control Module) is to discriminate between an event that warrants
restraint system deployment and an event that does not. The advanced SRSCM must decide it and when to deploy the restraint system pretensioners and
airbags. After determining that pretensioners and/or airbag deployment is required, the advanced SRSCM must supply sufficient power to the
pretensioners and airbag igniters to initiate deployment. The advanced SRSCM determines that an impact may require deployment of the pretensioners
and airbags from data obtained from buckle switches, seat track position sensors, occupant classification system, front impact sensors and side impact
sensors in conjunction with a safing function. The advanced SRSCM will not be ready to detect a crash or to activate the restraint system devices until
the signals in the advanced SRSCM circuitry stabilize. It is possible that the advanced SRSCM could activate the safety restraint devices in
approximately 2 seconds but is guaranteed to fully function after prove-out is completed. The advanced SRSCM must perform a diagnostic routine and
light a system readiness indicator at key-on. The system must perform a continuous diagnostic routine and provide fault annunciation through a warning
lamp indicator in the event of fault detection. A serial diagnostic communication interface will be used to facilitate servicing of the advanced restraint
control system.
