Seat Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
SensorsWARNING: The RCM orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS has been involved in a collision in which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition. Failure to follow these instructions may result In personal injury.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS is involved In a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and correctly position the sensor or any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
For these vehicles, the SRS uses up to 5 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM. The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. All vehicles will have a front impact severity sensor and it is located in the front-center of the vehicle, mounted on the radiator support bracket. If the vehicle is equipped with safety canopies, there are 4 additional side impact sensors. The 4 additional sensors are located at the base of each B-pillar and mounted on the C-pillar. The LH and RH C-pillar mounted side impact sensors are interchangeable. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact and rollover sensors.
