SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM9J±7
Steering Column
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed to
compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance of
injury to the driver.
431RW019
Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy to protect
knees and control the forward movement of the vehicle's
front seat occupants during a frontal crash, by limiting leg
movement.

Definitions
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in certain
frontal crashes. It supplements the protection offered by
the seat belts by distributing the impact load more evenly
over the vehicle occupant's head and torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i.e., no defined time
or interval).B+
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery
at the time of the indicated measurement. With the key
ªONº and the engine not running, the system voltage will
likely be between 12 and 12.5 volts. At idle, the voltage
may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10
volts during engine cranking.
Bulb Check
The SDM will cause the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp to turn
on 3.5 seconds and then go ªOFFº whenever the ignition
switch transitions to the ON position from any other
ignition switch position and no malfunctions are detected.
ªContinuous Monitoringº
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100
milliseconds while ªIgnition 1º voltage is in the normal
operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly ªDLCº a connector which allows communication
with an external computer, such as a scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame
from which all vertical measurements originate.
Deploy
To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops
The circuits which supply current to the air bag
assemblies to deploy the air bag.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Formerly ªCodeº, a numerical designator used by the
SDM to indicate specific SRS malfunctions.
Driver Current Source
An output of the SDM which applies current into the driver
air bag assembly circuit during the ªInitiator Assembly
Resistance Testº.
Driver Air Bag Assembly
An assembly located in the steering wheel hub consisting
of an inflatable bag, an inflator and an initiator.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
Memory which retains its contents when power is
removed from the SDM.
Ignition Cycle
The voltage at the SDM ªIgnition 1º inputs, with ignition
switch ªONº, is within the normal operating voltage range
for at least ten seconds before turning ignition switch
ªOFFº.
Ignition 1
A battery voltage (B+) circuit which is only powered with
the ignition switch in the ON, or START positions.
Initiator
The electrical component inside the air bag assembly
which, when sufficient current flows, sets off the chemical
reaction that inflates the air bag.
ªInitiator Assembly Resistance Testº
Tests performed once each ignition cycle when no
malfunctions are detected during ªTurn±ONº or
ªContinuous Monitoringº. This test checks for the correct
SDM configuration for the vehicle, shorts to ªIgnition 1º in
