Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation: Overview




Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Overview

The RCM (Restraints Control Module) continually receives and monitors inputs from the OCSM (Occupant Classification System Module) and various other hardwired switches and sensors. If the RCM (Restraints Control Module) detects a sudden vehicle deceleration and/or lateral deceleration based on the information received from the various sensors, and determines that deployment is necessary, the RCM (Restraints Control Module) applies voltage and current to deploy the appropriate SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) components.
