Kia Picanto: Airbag Module / Curtain Airbag (CAB) Module
Description and operation
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. |
