3315761 - E7030 AIRBAG - Functional description (Euro 3)

Functional description

The airbag system control unit M60 is supplied with power when the ignition switch is turned on (INT/A) at pin 5 by a line protected by fuse F2 in junction unit B1 . Pin 14 is connected to the specific earth C50 .

When an impact of a set severity (determined by the control software) is detected, the control unit sends control signals to set off the modules:

  • to driver's Air Bag Q9 , via the steering wheel clockspring Q10 (from pins 1 and 2):
  • to passenger airbag Q11 (from pins 3 and 4);
  • to pretensioners - left-hand Q20 (from pins 10 and 11) and right-hand Q21 (from pins 6 and 7).
Pins 5 and 24 are connected to the passenger Air Bag disabling switch H75 . When the system self-diagnostic function detects a fault or an impact is detected, control unit M60 sends a signal -from pin 13 to pin 9 connector C of instrument panel E50. - to the airbag anomaly warning light. Pin 20 of M60 sends a signal to the passenger airbag disablement warning light at pin 16, connector C of instrument panel E50. These are earth signals and make the warning lights come on because the instrument panel E50 supply is controlled by the ignition (INT/A) from the line protected by fuse F1 of the junction unit B1.The red warning light is a 'smart' light; in other words, an inner control circuit causes the warning light to light up even if the connection is broken or if the circuit connecting warning light and control unit is short-circuited to earth. Pin 9 of control unit M60 is connected to pin 3 of multiple diagnosis connector R10.
