What is a side impact sensor?
Side impact sensor. The purpose of the side impact sensor is to identify a side collision and then send a signal to the SRS control module which will respond to the signal by activating the side airbag on the side of the car in question.
How do side impact sensors work?
This airbag works as an inflatable seatbelt that inflates upon frontal impact from another vehicle. Activation of automotive airbags is triggered by crash sensors (also known as impact sensors) that work to detect frontal impact and trigger a control unit that deploys the airbag to cushion the passenger.
Do you have to replace impact sensor?
The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent, or damaged due to a collision. If the impact sensor or the mounting structure of the impact sensor is damaged, the impact sensor must be replaced. Replace the impact sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
Where are side impact sensors located?
An analysis of a sample of lateral collisions has demonstrated that the optimum position for a side impact airbag sensor is in the lower rear quadrant of the front door. Positioned thus, some 88% of AIS 3+ injury cases would be covered, and some 91 % of all AIS 4+ cases of front seat occupants would be covered.
Where are the side impact sensors located on a car?
The system includes a body side impact sensor mounted to the body side at least as high as the front door belt-line area. A lower body side impact sensor is mounted to the lower body component inboard from the body side. A safing sensor is secured to the vehicle.
How to choose the right impact force sensor?
Selecting the right impact force measurement sensor comes down to a few application variables, including level of force detail you wish to capture, and the total region or area of impact force.
