Component Description
FRONT DOOR SATELLITE SENSOR
- Front door satellite sensor (1) is installed to front door panel front side.
- Front door satellite sensor integrates lateral collision "G" sensor which detects lateral collision impact that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle. (Lateral collision "G" sensor adopts electronic sensor of which operating principles are the same as those of frontal collision "G" sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit.)
- In a lateral collision that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle, front door satellite sensor detects impact. If lateral collision safing sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit judges that impact is due to a collision, side air bag and curtain air bag operate.
FRONT SIDE AIR BAG SATELLITE SENSOR
The front side air bag satellite sensors are located on the front center pillar LH and RH. The front side air bag satellite sensors send signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit during a side collision. These sensors may be identified by yellow connectors.
REAR SIDE AIR BAG SATELLITE SENSOR
The rear side air bag satellite sensors are located behind the luggage side lower finisher LH and RH. The rear side air bag satellite sensors send signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit during a side collision. These sensors may be identified by yellow connectors.
