Airbag Module Data
For vehicles that correspond with the 02002888 cable, the following data is available from the airbag module for recorded deployment and near-deployment files:
Data Summary Table
- SIR warning lamp status (on/off)
- Driver's belt switch circuit status (on/off)
- Passenger front airbag suppression switch circuit status (on/off)
- Ignition cycles at deployment/near-deployment
- Ignition cycles at investigation
- Time from algorithm enable to deployment command (msec)
- Time from near-deployment to deployment command (sec) (if within 5 seconds)
Post-Crash Graph: SDM Recorded Velocity Change
- Plots change in forward velocity (MPH) versus time for 300 msec after algorithm enable.
