− SRS AIRBAG
All connectors in the SRS are colored in yellow to distin-
guish them from other connectors. Connectors having
special functions and specifically designed for the SRS
are used in the locations shown on the previous page to
ensure high reliability. These connectors use durable
gold−plated terminals.
(1) Terminal Twin−Lock Mechanism
Each connector has a two−piece component con-
sisting of a housing and a spacer. This design en-
ables the terminal to be locked securely by two lock-
ing devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent
terminals from coming out.
(2) Airbag Activation Prevention Mechanism
Each connector contains a short spring plate. When
the connector is disconnected, the short spring
plate automatically connects positive (+) terminal
and negative (−) terminal of the squib.
