Circuit Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The front impact sensor (RH) transmits acceleration data to the SRS-ECU. The SRS-ECU then determines whether to operate the front air bags, and then outputs an ignition signal when necessary. The front impact sensor also diagnoses itself, and sends a diagnostic trouble code to the SRS-ECU if a malfunction occurs.
