The electrical system that supports the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS):
- is powered from the battery through the ignition circuit.
- provides the electrical path from the restraints control module (RCM) to the SRS components.
- provides a communication path from the RCM to the air bag warning indicator, located in the instrument cluster (IC) module, via the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN).
- provides the electrical communication path from the RCM to the data link connector (DLC) and all other modules on the HS-CAN.
