How The Airbag System Works

•

The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module de-

termines if a frontal, side, or rollover collision is severe

enough to require the front and/or side airbags to

inflate. The front airbag inflators are designed to

provide different rates of airbag inflation from direc-

tion provided by the ORC. The ORC may also modify

the rate of inflation based on the occupant size pro-

vided by the Occupant Classification Module. The

ORC will detect roll overs, not rear impacts.

The ORC also monitors the readiness of the electronic

parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in

the START or ON positions. These include all of the

items listed above except the knee bolster, the instru-

ment panel, and the steering wheel and column. If the

key is in the LOCK position, in the ACC position, or

not in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will not

inflate.

Also, the ORC turns on the “Airbag Warning

Light” and “PAD Indicator Light” for 6 to 8

seconds for a self-check when the ignition is

first turned on. After the self-check, the “Air-

bag Warning Light” will turn off. The “PAD Indicator

Light” will function normally (Refer to ⬙Passenger Air-

bag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light⬙ in this section). If the

ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it

turns on the “Airbag Warning Light” either momen-

tarily or continuously. A single chime will sound if the

light comes on again after initial start up.
