RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION 8O - 77
ZH
Side Impact Sensor - Two side impact sensors (2)
are installed, one left side and one right side. The sen-
sors are mounted on the body cross brace in the cen-
ter of the door sill plates directly under the carpet.
Side Impact Airbag - The side impact airbags are
concealed behind the door trim panels above the arm-
rest. The side impact airbag is riveted (1) to the door's
interior structure and activated by a squib (2). SRS
logos on the trim panels denote the presence of the
airbags. If the airbag is triggered during a lateral colli-
sion, the airbag tears open a seam on the inner door
trim and inflates within 0.007 seconds to form a pro-
tective cushion between the passenger and the door.
Thus the impact on the passenger's thorax and the
ejecting motion of the head, which might otherwise
cause serious injuries, are reduced.
The ORC and the Instrument Cluster (IC) each con-
tain a central processing unit and programming that
allow them to communicate with each other using the
Controller Area Network (CAN). This method of com-
munication is used by the ORC for control of the air-
bag indicator lamp.
Hard wired circuitry connects the SRS components to
each other through the electrical system of the vehi-
cle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and
retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system,
and to the SRS components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and
many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire
harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds.
OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The primary passenger restraints in this or any other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-installed seat belts
and child restraint anchors. Seat belts and child restraint anchors are referred to as an active restraint because the
occupants are required to physically fasten and properly adjust these restraints in order to benefit from them. See
the Owner's Manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use, and operation of all of the
factory-installed active restraints.
