3315763 - E7030 AIRBAG - Functional description

Functional description

The airbag system control unit M60 is supplied with power when the ignition switch is turned on (15/54) at pin 2 of connector A by the line protected by fuse F2 in junction unit B2. Pin 1 of connector A is earthed.

When frontal impact of a certain severity (depending on the software setting) is detected, the control unit sends control signals to set off the modules:

  • to the driver's side Air Bag Q9 (from pins 21 and 22 of connector A):
  • to the passenger Air Bag Q11 (from pins 23 and 24 of connector A)
  • to the driver's pretensioner Q20 (from pins 13 and 14 of connector B) and the passenger pretensioner Q21 (from pins 15 and 16 of connector B).
Pin 7 of connector A is connected to the passenger Air Bag disabling switch H75. The side impact detection sensors K66 (driver's side) and K67 (passenger side) send signals to pins 1-2 and 3-4 respectively of connector B of the control unit M60.

When side impact of a certain severity (dependent on the software setting) is detected, the control unit sends control signals to set off the modules:

  • to the driver's side Air Bag Q30 (from pins 21 and 22 of connector B);
  • to the passenger side Air Bag Q31 (from pins 23 and 24 connector B);
  • to the driver's Window Bag Q40 (from pins 17 and 18 of connector B )
  • to the passenger side Q41 (from pins 19 and 20 of connector B).
The two side Air Bags and the two Window Bags are connected to earth C50. When the system self-diagnostic function detects a fault or an impact is detected, control unit M60 sends a signal -from pin 10 of connector A - to the Air Bag faulty warning light located in the instrument panel E50 pin 9 of connector C. Similarly, pin 9 of connector A of M60 sends the signal for the 'passenger disabling' warning light pin 16 of connector C of E50. Self-diagnostic data can be read by connecting the unit to connector R10 pin 3: this receives signals from pin 3 of connector A of control unit M60 through the relevant tester line See E8010 DIAGNOSTIC MULTIPLE CONNECTOR .
