Driver-side/front passenger frontal acceleration sensor component description - GF91.60-P-4033RT
MODEL 251 up to Model Year 8
The driver-side frontal acceleration sensor and passenger-side frontal acceleration sensor are mounted at the side of the front module.
The restraint systems control unit (N2/7) can also be actuated with one frontal acceleration sensor only. In the event of a sensor failure the signal of the second sensor continues to be evaluated.
The frontal acceleration sensors determine the acceleration values in the area of the left and right front sections. The acceleration sensors support the restraint systems control unit in the calculation of the triggering characteristic in the event of a frontal collision (airbag deployment).
