8O - 74 RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION
ZH
Vehicles with the SRS can also be identified by the
Airbag Warning Indicator, which will illuminate in the
Instrument Cluster (IC) for about six seconds as a
bulb test each time the ignition switch is turned to the
"RUN" position.
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) also includes the following major components.
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) - The Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC) is located on a mount
on the top of the transmission tunnel (2) in front of the
shifter, under the front center console.
ORC System Logic - The Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) uses an impact severity level (thresh-
old) to determine the appropriate response from the
ORC. Impacts that exceed the initial threshold in fron-
tal, front-angled, and rear impacts trigger only the SBT
that have the seat belt fastened. If the seat belt is not
fastened, the system will not recognize the belt and
not trigger the SBT. But, if the impact is severe
enough, the airbags will be triggered even if the seat
belts are not fastened. Impacts that exceed the higher
threshold always trigger the airbags. The driver and
passenger SRS systems operate independently of one
another based on seat belt use. SBT actuation occurs
only if the seat belts are buckled. After an impact that
activates an SBT, the SBT assembly must be
replaced. The ORC monitors operational readiness of
the SRS and illuminates the airbag warning indicator lamp in the Instrument Cluster (IC) if a malfunction should
occur. The following system components are monitored or undergo a self-check at startup. The side-impact sensor,
airbag ignition circuits (squibs), seat belt buckle switches and the SBT. The airbag warning indicator lamp also illu-
minates briefly each time the engine is started, allowing the driver to verify its operation.
