Kia Carnival (2009+). Manual — part 327

2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

DESCRIPTION

The primary purpose of the SRSCM (Supplemental Restraints System Control Module) is to discriminate between an
event that warrants restraint system deployment and an event that does not. The SRSCM must decide whether to
deploy the restraint system or not. After determining that pretensioners and/or airbag deployment is required, the
SRSCM must supply sufficient power to the pretensioners and airbag igniters to initiate deployment. The SRSCM
determines that an impact may require deployment of the pretensioners and airbags from data obtained from impact
sensors and other components in conjunction with a safing function.
The SRSCM will not be ready to detect a crash or to activate the restraint system devices until the signals in the
SRSCM circuitry stabilize. It is possible that the SRSCM could activate the safety restraint devices in approximately 2
seconds but is guaranteed to fully function after prove-out is completed. The SRSCM must perform a diagnostic
routine and light a system readiness indicator at key-on. The system must perform a continuous diagnostic routine and
provide fault annunciation through a warning lamp indicator in the event of fault detection. A serial diagnostic
communication interface will be used to facilitate servicing of the restraint control system.
