To enhance the system reliability, a connector short
circuiting mechanism is integrated in the SRS-ECU

connector, air bag module connectors, clock spring
connector, and pre-tensioner connectors (black
connector "A" shown in the figure).

This mechanism prevents the improper deployment of
air bag module because of the current application to
the squib due to the static electricity when connectors
between SRS-ECU and air bag modules (squibs) are
disconnected. When the connector is disconnected,

the short spring short circuits the power supply side
terminal and ground side terminal of squibs, and
prevents the static electricity from generating the
potential difference. This connector mechanism is
adopted for the following connectors.
