Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

• During a collision, the SAS control module sends a collision signal to the PCM via the CAN signal. The PCM records a DTC by receiving a collision signal.
• This DTC does not indicate a part malfunction. It indicates operation of fail-safe from safety assurance during a vehicle collision.
