Kia Forte: Airbag Module / Passenger Airbag (PAB) Module
Description and operation
Installed inside the crash pad, the passenger airbag (PAB) protects the front
passenger in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy
the PAB.
|
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module
(squib) 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.
