Kia Rio: Airbag Module / Side Airbag (SAB) Module
Description and operation
The Side Airbags (SAB) are installed inside the front seat and protects the driver
and passenger from danger when side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment
of side airbag by using Side Impact Sensor (SIS) signal.
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
