Front-End Discriminating Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora and 1999 Buick Riviera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Front-end discriminating sensor is an auxiliary sensor which assists SDM in determining when deployment should occur by providing an input signal. Although front-end discriminating sensor is a mechanical sensor, it is not part of deployment loop.
