Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
Arming Sensor

    This sensor is a normally open mechanical switch that closes during deceleration encountered in an accident. The arming sensor is wired in series with
the steering wheel module and provides backup to the other sensors. A parallel resistor in the arming sensor permits a small amount of current to flow
through the initiator circuit for diagnostic purposes.
