SATELLITE ACCELERATION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with side impact airbags use two
Satellite Acceleration Sensors (SAS). One is located
on each respective side body B-pillar.

OPERATION

The Satellite Acceleration Sensor (SAS) provides
verification of the direction and severity of the side
impact to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC controls both the right and the left side
curtain airbags. In the event of a side impact the
ORC will send an electronic signal to deploy the
appropriate curtain airbag. The SAS periodically
transmit the acceleration data to the ORC by modu-
lation of the current on the power supply.
The accelerometer pulses are sent to a micropro-
cessor, which contains a decision algorithm. When an
impact is severe enough to require airbag protection,
the ORC microprocessor sends a signal to deploy the
side airbag that completes the electrical circuits to
the right or left side airbag. The ORC is calibrated
for the specific vehicle and reacts to the severity and
direction of the impact.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable remote terminal.
(2) Wait two minutes for the system reserve capac-
itor to discharge before servicing any airbag compo-
nents.
(3) Remove the lower B-pillar trim from the appro-
priate side of the vehicle. Refer to Body, Interior,
B-Pillar Lower Trim, Removal.
(4) Disconnect the satellite acceleration sensor
(SAS) electrical connector.
(5) Remove the SAS retaining screws and remove
the sensor from the vehicle.
