Operation

OPERATION

The passenger seat occupant simulator receives a multiplexed DC voltage signal from the passenger airbag on/off switch. The signal is then converted into a digital signal and sent to the occupant restraint controller.

With the passenger airbag On/Off switch in the OFF position, the occupant restraint controller provides a ground for the Passenger Air Bag Off indicator, and disables the passenger airbag.

With the passenger airbag On/Off switch in the ON position, the occupant restraint controller allows full operation of the passenger airbag.
