DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DCU

The DCU is installed on the top of the transmission tunnel, alongside the handbrake, and controls the operation of the 
SRS. The main functions of the DCU include:

l

Crash detection and recording

l

Airbag and pretensioner firing

l

Self test and system monitoring, with status indication via the warning lamp and non-volatile storage of fault 
information.

Accelerometers in the DCU provide crash detection for front and rear impacts. A safing sensor provides confirmation 
of a frontal impact. Various firing strategies are employed by the DCU to ensure the airbags/pretensioners that are 
fired are appropriate to the severity and direction of the impact. The firing strategy used also depends on the inputs 
from the seat belt buckle switches (where fitted) and the occupancy detector sensor, and varies between NAS and 
other markets. An energy reserve in the DCU ensures the firing signals can be produced for a minimum of 150 
milliseconds after a crash is detected, in case of disruption to the system power supply from the ignition switch.

When the ignition is switched on the DCU performs a self test and then performs cyclical monitoring of the system. If 
a fault is detected the DCU stores a related fault code in memory and illuminates the SRS warning lamp. Faults can 
be retrieved by TestBook/T4 from the DCU via the K bus connection with the instrument pack. If a fault that could 
cause a false fire signal is detected, the DCU actively disables the respective firing circuit, and keeps it disabled during 
a crash event.
