SAS CONTROL MODULE [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]


id0810b2500200


Purpose

•  The SAS control module controls the air bag system.

Function


Air bag system initialization diagnostics function

•  When the ignition is switched ON, the SAS control module turns on the air bag/seat belt pre-tensioner system warning light in the instrument cluster for approx. 6 s to indicate that the air bag system is performing initialization diagnostics.
•  If there is no malfunction with the air bag system, the air bag/seat belt pre-tensioner system warning light turns off.


Backup power supply function

•  The condenser in the SAS control module discharges even if the power supply to the SAS control module has been cut off due to a collision, and the backup power supply function operates the air bag system for a specified period of time.


Vehicle travel conditions detection function

•  The SAS control module detects the signals from the following integrated sensors.
•  The SAS control module outputs the detection signals from the following sensors and outputs them to the DSC HU/CM via a CAN signal.

Sensor

Signal

Low-G sensor
•  Vehicle longitudinal acceleration speed signal
•  Vehicle lateral acceleration speed signal
Yaw rate sensor
•  Vehicle steering angle speed signal
Roll rate sensor (With roll rate sensor)
•  Vehicle roll angle speed signal


Collision detection signal output function

•  The SAS control module sends the following signal to the following units when it determines that it is necessary for the air bag system to operate (deploy).
•  When the signal is received, the each unit performs controls to mediate secondary injuries caused by the vehicle collision.
