DESCRIPTION

Curtain airbags are installed inside the headliner (LH and RH) and protect the driver and passenger from danger when
side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of curtain airbag by using side impact sensor (SIS) signal.

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module even if you are using the specified tester. If
the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
