BMW airbag computer is installed under the sub-instrument panel, and it can be found by removing the sub-instrument panel. Functions of the airbag computer: The automotive airbag computer serves as the control center of the airbag system. Its role is to receive signals from collision sensors and other sensors, determine whether to ignite and inflate the airbag, and perform self-diagnosis of system faults. The airbag computer also continuously monitors and tests critical circuit components such as sensor circuits, ignition circuits, backup power circuits, SRS indicator circuits, and driver circuits. The test results are displayed via the SRS indicator and fault codes stored in the memory, meaning the SRS indicator on the dashboard directly provides the driver with status information about the airbag system. Components of the airbag computer: Collision sensors, EEPROM memory chips, squib driver integrated circuits, and microprocessors. Additionally, when the automotive airbag computer malfunctions, the status information and fault codes stored in its memory can be retrieved using specialized equipment or through specific methods via the serial communication interface for testing and inspection.
