Seat Occupancy Module (SBE)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2001 BMW Z3, 2001 BMW M3, 2001 BMW M Roadster, 2001 BMW M Coupe, and 2001 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Output signals from the passenger-side seat occupancy sensor pad are converted from a varying analog signal to a digital pulse signal by the SBE. This signal is then sent to the air bag control unit to assist it in making deployment decisions. SBE module is located under passenger seat.
