Circuit/System DescriptionComponent  | Description  | 
|---|---|
K36 Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module  | The control module monitors several sensors that can detect a collision. When a collision is detected, the control module will trigger certain air bags and seat belt pretensioners, depending on the angle and severity of the impact.  | 
K85 Passenger Presence Module  | The passenger presence detection sensor mat in the passenger seat cushion creates a low-level electric field to detect the capacitance of the object on the seat.  |
