The seat occupation detection determines whether or not the front passenger seat is occupied. This information is forwarded to the Safety and Gateway Module.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the indicator lamp is activated by the Safety and Gateway Module and the front passenger airbags are deactivated. The message ”Passenger Airbag Off” then lights up.
If the front passenger seat is occupied, the indicator lamp is not activated by the Safety and Gateway Module and the front passenger airbags are activated. The message ”Passenger Airbag Off” then goes out.
The airbag indicator lamp is also diagnosed and monitored. If a fault in the power supply or lamp is determined, a fault code memory entry is made in the Safety and Gateway Module.
All work on the airbags must be carried out with the battery disconnected!
Connect and disconnect all BYTEFLIGHT control units, sensors and generators only with the battery disconnected!
If a fibre-optic cable on the BYTEFLIGHT bus has to be repaired, it must be borne in mind that there may only be one join in a fibre-optic cable. If there is already a join due to a door connector, the fibre-optic cable must not be repaired. In the case of a defect, the fibre-optic cable must be replaced!
