Description And Operation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Kia Forte. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For normal activation of airbag system, SRSCM detects DTC(s) for the Occupant Detection System (ODS).
If the seat is occupied, ODS detects the passenger presence status and sends signal to SRSCM via CAN.
SRSCM classifies the signal into two (2) different situations:
1. Empty or small occupant with child restraint system, and
2. Occupied by large occupant and small occupant.
With these signals, ACU determines whether or not it needs to deploy the PAB (Passenger Airbag).
