How Does an Airbag Work?
1 Answers
The working principle of an airbag is: the sensor system continuously sends speed change information to the control unit, which analyzes and judges this information. The airbag consists of an inflation sensor and an inflation system, and its function is to protect the occupants by reducing collisions with objects inside the car, more evenly distributing the impact force on the head and chest, and absorbing the kinetic energy of the occupants, thereby supplementing the effect of seat belts. The reasons for the airbag warning light to illuminate are: 1. Engine self-check; 2. Airbag sensor malfunction; 3. Airbag control unit malfunction; 4. Poor line contact.
