Once the ignition starts, the SDM starts to diagnose the air bag system during the ignition process.

If the system is OK, the SDM is armed for a specific impact on the vehicle. The ignition time takes about 

6 sec.

3. DEPLOYMENT

According to the collision deceleration rate that each collision G sensor reads, the air bag unit sends out 

about 2~4 or higher Amp current. This current generates some heat, which fires the detonator in the 

inflator.

The table shows the basic inner resistance of the air bag related module and the basic instant current 

necessary for firing.

1) Air Bag System Deployment (Firing Loop)

Do not connect a tester probe to the air bag connector or air bag body to measure the supply 

voltage or resistance. The detonator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the 

tester.

Before removing or installing any air bag related components, disconnect the negative battery 

cable.
