DESCRIPTION

The passenger Airbag (PAB) is installed inside the crash pad and protects the front passenger in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the PAB.

CAUTIONNever attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) with an ohmmeter. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
