Side Impact Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Side Impact Sensors (SIS) contain an accelerometer which converts acceleration into an electrical signal. When this signal exceeds preset parameters, a signal is sent to SDM. SDM will then inflate applicable head impact air bag module.
