whenever  there  is fault that  can affect the  operation  of the
airbag   system .  If there   is  a  fault   present   in  the  PAD
Ind icator  Light  the  Airbag  Warning   Light  rem ains illu-
minated   to show  that  the  passenger   airbag  is turned   off
until  the fault  is cleared . If  an object  is lodged  und er the
seat  and interferes   with  operation  of  the weight   sensors,
a fault  will occur  which  turns  on both  the  PAD Ind icator

may  be possible  based  on  collision  severity  and  occu-
pant  size.  The steering   wheel  hu b trim  cover  and  the
upper  right  side  of the  instru ment  panel  separate  and
fold out  of the way  as the  bags inflate  to their  full size.  2
The  bags  fully  inflate  in  abou t  50 -  70 millisecond  s.
This is abou t half of the time  it takes to blink  you r eyes.
The bags  then quickly  deflate  while  help ing to restrain
the  driver  and  front  passenger.   The driver’s  and   pas-
senger’s  front airbag  gas is vented  throu gh  holes in the
sides  of  the  airbag.   In  this  way   the  airbags   do  not
interfere  with  you r control  of  the vehicle.
The  Occupant    Classification    Module   (OCM)   is  lo-
cated   beneath   the   front  passenger    seat.   The  OCM
classifies  the   occupant   into  categories   based   on  the
measu rem ents  made  by  the seat  weight   sensors.  The
OCM communicates   with  the  ORC. The ORC  uses the
occupant   category    to  determ ine   whether   the   front
passenger   airbag  shou ld  be  turned   off. It  also  deter-
mines  the  rate of  airbag  inflation  during   a collision.
The  Driver  and  Passen  ger  Airb ag/In flator  Units   are
located  in the center  of the steering  wheel  and the right
side  of the instru ment  panel.  When  the  ORC detects  a
collision  requ iring  the  airbags,   it  signals  the  inflator
units.  A large  quantity  of nontoxic   gas is generated   to
inflate  the front airbags.  Different  airbag  inflation  rates
