Kia Soul EV: Airbag Module / Driver Airbag (DAB) Module and Clock Spring Description and Operation
Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed inside the steering wheel
and is electrically connected to SRSCM with a clock spring. It protects
the driver from impact by deploying a bag when frontal crash occurs. The
SRSCM determines the deployment of Driver Airbag (DAB).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag
module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. When the
circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental deployment of
airbag may result in serious personal injury. |
