ABSTRACT:
An actuatable restraint system (10) includes a satellite crash sensing module (20) which is electrically connected to, and remotely located away from, a main module (22). Satellite crash sensing module (20) includes an accelerometer (26) and satellite controller (28). Satellite controller (28) determines whether a deployment crash event is occurring in response to the acceleration signal by performing a crash algorithm. Satellite controller (28) provides coded signals (63) indicating whether or not a deployment crash event has occurred. A main controller (44) in main control module (22) receives and interprets the coded signals (63). If main controller (44) interprets the coded signal as indicating the occurrence of a deployment crash condition, main controller (44) actuates a restraint device.
