S60 AWD L5-2.5L Turbo VIN 59 B5254T2 (2005)
WARNING: Never use an ohmmeter or similar tool to test airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners.
Disconnect airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners before testing them. Failure to do so may result in
accidental deployment. This could result in serious injury or death.
There are two side impact protection (SIPS) bags connected to the supplemental restraint system module (SRS). Their connectors are electrically
separated from each other. The side impact protection (SIPS) bags are on the outside of the front seats, underneath the upholstery. The side impact
protection (SIPS) bags deploy on the side of the impact. Their task is to protect the hips, chest and upper body in the event of a side on collision.
The side airbags together with the inflatable curtains and other safety systems can help to protect the driver and front passenger in the event of a
collision.
The side impact protection (SIPS) bag uses a pyrotechnic component in combination with a reservoir which stores a gas. On activation the pyrotechnic
charge and mixes with the stored gas. The gas mixture is blown into the airbag.
WARNING: Never use an ohmmeter or similar tool to test airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners.
Disconnect airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners before testing them. Failure to do so may result in
accidental deployment. This could result in serious injury or death.
Seat belt tensioners
WARNING: Never use an ohmmeter or similar tool to test airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners.
Disconnect airbags, inflatable curtains, the adaptive steering column or seat belt tensioners before testing them. Failure to do so may result in
accidental deployment. This could result in serious injury or death.
Depending on the model and market, there may be up to seven seat belt tensioners in the vehicle. Two in the front seat, three in the rear seats and two in
the third row if applicable. The seat belt tensioners contain an explosive charge which tensions the seat belts when deployed. The seat belt tensioners are
separated from each other electrically. This means that each seat belt tensioner has a separate individual power supply and ground from the control
module.
The seat belt tensioner tensions the seat belt to reduce the forward movement of the body. This also reduces the forces on the chest from the airbag and
seat belt.
The supplemental restraint system module (SRS) determines whether to deploy the seat belt tensioners based on whether the seat belts are being used.
The seat belt tensioner will not be activated if the seat belt is not engaged. If the seat belt is fastened and the seatbelt indication does not function for the
front seat belt buckles, the seat belt tensioners will be activated anyway.
