Sidebag sensor, component description - GF91.60-P-4034GZ
MODEL 164 up to Model Year 08
Measuring range and sensitivity are checked for conformity with programmed equipment. The production date can be read out via the diagnosis.
The driver sidebag sensor (A53) and front passenger sidebag sensor (A54) are each located in the B-pillars. They determine the acceleration values in the area of the left and right B-pillars and serve for an early detection of a side impact.
The basic functions are:
- constant transmission of a digital "OK" signal on successfully completing self-test
- transmission of "Sensor faulty" following fourth successive self-test failures
- transmission of identification (measuring range, sensitivity) on request from restraint systems control unit (N2/7)
- periodic transmission of acceleration values as digital values
