Restraint Control Module (RCM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Thunderbird. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RCM communicates on the ISO 9141 network. The RCM monitors and controls the supplemental restraint system (SRS). The SRS is designed to provide increased crash protection for front seat occupants. The RCM will deploy the vehicle air bags based on sensor input during a crash event. For additional information, refer to AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS .
