SRS AIR BAG SPECIAL CONNECTOR
   
To enhance the system reliability, a connector lock switch is integrated in the SRS-ECU connector, the air bag module connectors, the clock spring connector, the seat belt pre-tensioner connectors (black connector "A" shown in the illustration above).
SQUIB CIRCUIT CONNECTOR LOCK SWITCH
   
 CAUTION
When the connector is disconnected, it is normal for short-circuiting to occur between the connector terminals.
This mechanism automatically short-circuits the power supply side terminal and earth side terminal of the air bag when the connector is disconnected. A short spring is incorporated in the connector to short-circuit the power supply side terminal and earth side terminal of the air bag (no potential difference between the two terminals) and prevent flow of current by static electricity to the squib.
