Electrical System

The air bag system is powered directly from the battery. The system can function with the ignition switch in any position, including OFF and LOCK. The system can also function when the driver seat is unoccupied. The electrical system performs three main functions:
- Detects an impact.
- Switches electric current to the igniter.
- Monitors the system to determine readiness.

The electrical system components include:
- Electronic air bag diagnostic monitor with integrated backup power supply and integrated safing sensor.
- Air bag system readiness indicator.
- Wiring harness and air bag sliding contact.
- RH radiator primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket and LH radiator primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket.
- Igniter within driver side air bag module.
