Supplemental Restraint System: Notes

DESCRIPTION 

A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this vehicle. Available supplemental occupant restraints for this vehicle include both Active  and Passive  types. Active restraints are those which require the vehicle occupants to take some action to employ, such as fastening and adjusting a seat belt; while passive restraints require no action by the vehicle occupants to be employed.

The Active  restraints for this vehicle include:

• Front Seat Belts, Buckles, Switches and Passenger Belt Tension Sensor
• Rear Seat Belts And Buckles
• Child Restraint Anchors.

The

Passive 

restraints include the following major components:

• Impact Sensor
• Passenger AirBag (PAB)
• Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator (EMEA) or Passenger Airbag OFF Indicator (NAFTA)
• Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) - (IF EQUIPPED)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) - (IF EQUIPPED)
• Seat Airbag (SAB)
• Seat Belt Tensioners
• Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS)
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Seat Track Position Sensor (STPS)
• Driver Airbag (DAB)
• Clockspring - integral with the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM)
• Side Curtain Air Bag (SABIC) - (IF EQUIPPED)
• Instrument Panel Cluster

The ORC and the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) each contain a microcontroller and programming that allow them to communicate with each other using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is used by the ORC for control of the airbag indicator in the IPC. Refer to COMMUNICATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

Hardwired circuitry connects the SRS components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hardwired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system, and to the SRS components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to WIRE SPLICING , CONNECTOR TERMINAL REMOVAL and CONNECTOR TERMINAL INSTALLATION .
