ABSTRACT:
A vehicle occupant protection system includes a plurality of satellite sensors, a control unit, and a plurality of bus lines. The satellite sensors detect a vehicle condition in a vehicle collision or a rollover event. The control unit determines an occurrence of the vehicle collision or the rollover event based on output signals from the satellite sensors and controls activation of an occupant protection unit. The bus lines bus-connect the control unit and the satellite sensors. Three or more of the satellite sensors are connected in series. One of the satellite sensors that is connected in series is operable to determine at least two different collision or rollover events and is bus-connected closest to the control unit.
