The Side Airbags (SAB) are installed inside the front seat and protects the driver
and passenger from danger when a side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment
of the side airbag by using the Side Impact Sensor (SIS) signal.

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag
module (squib) 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.
