SIDE IMPACT SENSOR
The side impact sensor is installed in the lower parts of the centre pillars and contains
an analogue G-sensor.
The side impact sensor transmits coded acceleration data to the SRS-ECU. Based on the data,
the SRS-ECU then determines if the side-airbag or side and curtain air bags should be inflated, and
sends an ignition signal. The side impact sensor also diagnoses its own components, and sends
a diagnosis code to the SRS-ECU if a problem occurs.
