Functional Description

The airbag control unit is connected to the low-speed CAN bus. It receives the ignition key status from the CIM and transmits the airbag status to the BCM, CIM, DIS, IPC, REC, UEC for the telltales and displays. In the case of airbag deployment, if available, a message is transmitted to the NAV and CAR and an emergency call is effected via Onstar. The ignition circuits and the airbag function sensors feature conventional wiring, owing to the high speed requirements. They cannot be controlled via the CAN bus.

Fault Monitoring Function

A fault monitoring / fault diagnosis function is integrated in the control unit, which continuously monitors all the control unit inputs and outputs, as well as the crash sensors and restraint systems.

If a fault is recognised in the control unit, the control unit transmits the message "Airbag control unit fault lamp ON" to the instrument via the LSCAN. After receiving this message, the instrument actuates the airbag fault lamp.
