Seat belt buckle switch

The seat belt buckle switches (driver seat/passenger seat) provide the seat belt buckle 
signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit and the combination meter.

Spiral cable

The spiral cable provides a rotating physical connection to the driver air bag module.

Combination meter

The combination meter displays the air bag warning lamp and the seat belt warning 
lamp. The air bag warning lamp is used for diagnosis in User Mode and may be used 
to display diagnostic trouble codes without the use of the CONSULT.

Front Passenger Air Bag Module

INFOID:0000000009176956

The front passenger air bag module is located behind the instrument

panel assembly. It operates with the SRS system in a frontal collision

exceeding a specified level. Refer to 

SRC-10, "SRS AIR BAG SYS-

TEM : System Description"

 for more information.

Front Side Air Bag Module

INFOID:0000000009176957

Front side air bag modules are built into the front seatback assem-

blies. Vehicles with side air bags are equipped with labels as shown.

Side Curtain Air Bag Module

INFOID:0000000009176958

Side curtain air bag modules are located above the vehicle headlin-

ing. Vehicles with side curtain air bags are equipped with labels on

the pillar upper finishers.

Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioner

INFOID:0000000009176959

The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed for

both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates

simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal

collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.

When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level

occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is

immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner (1) as well as the lap pre-

tensioner (2). Vehicle passengers are securely restrained.

When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and

the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the

load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the

twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat belt

web tension while maintaining force.

COMPONENT PARTS

Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit

INFOID:0000000009176960

The air bag diagnosis sensor unit is located under the center con-

sole assembly. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit receives signals

from multiple SRS sensors and controls the deployment of the air

bags. The deployment of the air bags depends on the type and

severity of the collision. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit has self-

diagnosis capability through the use of the CONSULT as well as

flash codes displayed by the air bag warning lamp.

Crash Zone Sensor

INFOID:0000000009176961

The crash zone sensor is located behind the radiator and under-

neath the front air duct. The crash zone sensor sends signals to the

air bag diagnosis sensor unit during a frontal collision. This sensor

may be identified by a yellow connector.

Front Side Air Bag Satellite Sensor

INFOID:0000000009176962

The front side air bag satellite sensors are located on the front center

pillar LH and RH next to the seat belt pre-tensioners. The front side

air bag satellite sensors send signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor

unit during a side collision. These sensors may be identified by yel-

low connectors.

Rear Side Air Bag Satellite Sensor

INFOID:0000000009176963

The rear side air bag satellite sensors are located behind the lug-

gage side lower finisher LH and RH. The rear side air bag satellite

sensors send signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit during a

side collision. These sensors may be identified by yellow connec-

tors.
