Air Bag Systems: Testing and Inspection

WARNING LAMP ACTIVATION

1. Active fault or historical fault counter is greater or equal to 10




2. Normal or historical fault counter is less than 10





SRSCM INDEPENDENT WARNING LAMP ACTIVATION

There are certain fault conditions in which the SRSCM cannot function and thus cannot control the operation of the standard warning lamp. In these cases, the standard warning lamp is directly activated by appropriate circuitry that operates independently of the SRSCM. These cases are:
1. Loss of battery supply to the SRSCM : warning lamp turned on continuously.
2. Loss of internal operating voltage : warning lamp turned on continuously.
3. Loss of Microprocessor operation : warning lamp turned on continuously.
4. SRSCM not connected : warning lamp turned on continuously through the shorting bar.

TELLTALE LAMP ACTIVATION




The Telltale Lamp indicates the Passenger Airbag(PAB) enabled and disabled status based on occupant status of passenger seat. If the passenger seat is empty or occupied with child (or child seat), the Passenger Airbag is disabled and the Telltale Lamp is turned ON to inform the driver that the PAB is disabled. As soon as operating voltage is applied to the SRSCM ignition input, the SRSCM activates telltale lamp prove out. OCS will send an defect status to the SRSCM as a default setting for passenger airbag deployment during the prove out period. Occupant status information and telltale status are as below table.





After ignition on, telltale lamp will turn on for 4 seconds and turn off for 3 seconds during the initialization phase and be turned off afterward until receipt of first valid suppression message from OCS system.
