Description And Operation: Notes

DESCRIPTION 

A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this vehicle. Available supplemental occupant restraints for this vehicle include both Active  and Passive  types. Active restraints are those which require the vehicle occupants to take some action to employ, such as fastening and adjusting a seat belt; while passive restraints require no action by the vehicle occupants to be employed.

The Passive  restraints include the following major components:

1.	Refer to IMPACT SENSOR .
2.	Refer to PASSENGER AIRBAG .
3.	Refer to PASSENGER KNEE BLOCKER .
4.	Refer to OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR OR OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE .
5.	Refer to SEAT AIRBAG .
6.	Refer to SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
7.	Refer to SEAT BELT TENSIONER .
8.	Refer to SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR .
9.	Refer to DRIVER AIRBAG .
10.	Refer to CLOCKSPRING  Part of the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM).
11.	Refer to DRIVER KNEE BLOCKER .
12.	Refer to PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR .
13.	Refer to KNEE AIRBAG .
14.	Refer to OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER .

The ORC and the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) each contain a microcontroller and programming that allow them to communicate with each other using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is used by the ORC for control of the airbag indicator in the IPC. Refer to COMMUNICATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

Hardwired circuitry connects the SRS components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hardwired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system, and to the SRS components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING PROCEDURES or CONNECTOR TERMINAL REMOVAL or CONNECTOR TERMINAL INSTALLATION .

OPERATION 

ACTIVE RESTRAINTS 

The primary passenger restraints in this or any other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-installed seat belts and child restraint anchors. Seat belts and child restraint anchors are referred to as an active restraint because the vehicle occupants are required to physically fasten and properly adjust these restraints in order to benefit from them.
