4. Backer Board : Provide stable and smooth reaction surface for Bladder, together with Felt Pad.
5. Felt Pad : Provide stable reaction surface for Bladder, together with Backer Board, and protect Bladder Assembly from the seat frame environment.
6. ECU : Utilizing data from the Pressure Sensor, BTS (Belt Tension sensor) , and Compensation Tables, determine if PAB (Passenger Airbag) will be suppressed.
7. Pressure Sensor : Sense pressure input from Bladder and convert the pressure input to a voltage signal for ECU.
