Kia Optima: Airbag Module / Curtain Airbag (CAB) Module
Description and operation
Curtain airbags are installed inside the headliner (LH and RH) and protect the
driver and passenger from danger when a side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines
deployment of the curtain airbag by using the side impact sensor (SIS) signal.
| • |
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag
module even if you are using a specified tester. If the circuit
resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment
will result in serious personal injury.
