Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation





Description

In order to make normal activation of airbag system, SRSCM detects DTC(s) for the Passive occupant detection system (PODS-F). If the seat is occupied, PODS-F detects passenger presences status and send signal to SRSCM via CAN.
SRSCM recognizes the signal as 2(two) different classifications; that is, 1(Empty or small occupant with child restraint system), 2(Occupied with large occupant and small occupant).
With these signal, ACU determines whether it needs to deploy the PAB(Passenger Airbag) or not.
