Kia Rio: Airbag Module / Passenger Airbag (PAB) Module
Description and operation
The passenger airbag (PAB) is installed inside the crash pad and protects the
front passenger in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when
to deploy the PAB.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module
(squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance
is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.
