Chrysler 56043195AZ Occupant Classification Module

These models have a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS); popularly known as the airbag system which has not less than two airbags for the driver and front seat occupant intended to minimize risk to the occupants during frontal impacts. The airbag control module is located on the floor of the vehicle below the instrument panel and just above the dashboard; additional side Torso/Side AIRBAG can be provided on the models with the rear side curtain which contains the "SAS - AIRBAG" logo at the headlining. The airbag module consists of the airbag and the inflator unit, the bag inflates almost at once on reception of a signal from the control module through a clockspring; this is a flat, band-like conductor that remains electrically continuous even if the steering wheel makes a rotation. The passenger airbag is located in the upper part of the dashboard above the glove box, which has an ON/OFF button for disabling the airbag when using a child seat; It is not recommended to delete the airbag, unless it has deployed. If present, side curtain airbags are mounted above the headliner and cover area between A and C pillars; these should be replaced only in case of deployment. The Airbag Control Module (ACM) controls the airbag system, and tests it on every start, with an indicator that illuminates if all is well, or if there is a problem. In addition to the side-curtain airbags, there are Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACMs) installed behind the B-pillar trim of the vehicle. It is often required to disable the system when some of its components are being serviced; thus, it is necessary to know how to do it. In order to disable the system the ignition has to be switched off, and the negative terminal of the battery has to be disconnected, and after that the person has to wait for at least two minutes. To enable the system, join the negative terminal of the battery and start the engine, check the Air bag lamp to verify if it is working. Passenger seat also has weight sensor module for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) which controls the airbag release depending on the weight of the occupant; therefore it is dangerous to allow anyone sit on passenger side if the seat is missing until a dealer service department check on the airbag and OCS to avoid fatality in case of an accident.

These models are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly known as an airbag system, featuring at least two airbags for the driver and front seat passenger, designed to protect occupants from serious injury during a head-on or frontal collision. The airbag control module is situated on the transmission tunnel beneath the center of the instrument panel, with some models offering optional side curtain airbags identifiable by the "SRS - AIRBAG" logo on the headliner above the B-pillar. The airbag module contains the airbag and inflater unit, which inflates the bag almost instantaneously upon receiving an electrical signal from the airbag control module via a "clockspring," a flat, ribbon-like electrically conductive tape. The passenger's airbag is located in the dashboard above the glove box, with an ON/OFF switch for deactivating it when transporting an infant or young child in a safety seat; removal of the airbag is not recommended unless it has been activated in an accident. Optional side-curtain airbags are positioned on each roof side rail and extend from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and should only be removed if deployed in an accident. The Airbag Control Module (ACM) monitors the airbag system, illuminating an indicator light during startup to indicate proper operation; if a fault is detected, it stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and keeps the light on until repaired. The ACM controls standard driver and passenger airbags, while vehicles with side-curtain airbags also have Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACMs) located behind the B-pillar trim. When servicing components near the SRS system, it is crucial to disable the system to prevent accidental deployment, which involves turning off the ignition, disconnecting the negative battery terminal, and waiting at least two minutes. To enable the system, the ignition should be turned off, the negative battery terminal reconnected, and the ignition turned on while ensuring no body is in front of the airbags, checking that the indicator light functions correctly. The front passenger's seat includes a weight sensor module as part of the Occupant Classification System (OCS), which is critical for airbag deployment; if the seat is removed, no one should sit in it until the airbag and OCS have been verified by a dealer service department to prevent serious injury or death in an accident.
