Where is the airbag control module located in the JAC Refine S3?

The airbag control module is generally located in front of the gear shift lever or underneath it. Areas marked with AIR-BAG in the vehicle indicate airbag locations. Below is relevant information: 1. Airbags: The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. 2. Airbag working principle: When a collision occurs during vehicle operation, the airbag sensors first receive the impact signal. Once the impact reaches the specified intensity, the sensors activate and send a signal to the electronic control unit. After receiving the signal, the electronic control unit compares it with its pre-stored data. If the airbag deployment conditions are met, the drive circuit sends an activation signal to the gas generator in the airbag assembly.
The airbag control module of the JAC Refine S3 is usually located under the driver's seat, which can be found by lifting the seat cushion. I've worked on this vehicle's maintenance several times before—the clever placement is designed to protect critical electronic components from impact interference. If you're repairing it, remember to disconnect the battery first to prevent accidental airbag deployment, and avoid pulling the wiring harness forcefully during disassembly to prevent pin damage. If the airbag light flashes, the control module might have water damage or corrosion, especially after heavy rain seasons—check the sealing integrity. I recommend using a soft brush to remove dust during regular maintenance to prevent accumulation from affecting heat dissipation. DIY repairs carry risks, so it's best to take the vehicle to a 4S dealership for accurate fault code diagnosis.
I've been driving the JAC Refine S3 for several years, and the airbag control module is right under my seat—I can feel it when I reach down. Last time the airbag warning light came on, I thought it was a minor issue, but after opening it up, I found the connector was loose. Replugging it fixed the problem. The designer probably chose this location for safety and easy maintenance, without interfering with daily operations. To inspect it, slightly lift the seat to avoid damaging the connecting cables. I recommend first checking the voltage stability with a multimeter to prevent false fault reports. Avoid placing drink bottles or wet items under the seat cushion to prevent moisture intrusion. If issues arise, don’t rush to fix it—consult the manual or a mechanic for safer troubleshooting.
The airbag control module of JAC Refine S3 is installed under the seat, featuring a compact design for easy integration of sensor data. I understand it serves as the system's brain, processing collision signals to control airbag deployment. The low center-of-gravity location was chosen to minimize vibration impact. During maintenance, gently detach the seat clips to avoid damaging wiring harnesses. If the warning light stays on, it may indicate module failure or dust-clogged interfaces. Regular compressed air cleaning can extend its lifespan. I often see customers neglect this small component leading to frequent malfunctions, so I recommend incorporating it into routine vehicle maintenance for cost-effective peace of mind.
