Side Air Bag Sensor System
• The crash sensor built into side air bag sensor.
• To improve detection of an impact to the side of the vehicle, side air bag sensors have been placed.
1. If the vehicle is involved in a side-impact collision, the impact is detected by both side air bag sensors.
2. The crash sensors built into side air bag sensors detect the impact and convert the degree of impact into an electrical signal at the signal processing circuit.
3. The degree-of-impact signal, which is converted to an electrical signal, is sent to the SAS control module.
