Circuit Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The side impact sensor includes an analog G sensor and CPU, etc. The CPU monitors the analog G sensor output signal. If the CPU judges that the side-airbags should be deployed, it sends an ignition signal to the SRS-ECU to deploy the side-airbags. Besides that, the CPU diagnoses the internal components of the side impact sensor. If a malfunction occurs, it requests the SRS-ECU to set a diagnostic trouble code.
