What is a Chrysler Imperial 2nd Gen airbag control module?
The Chrysler Imperial 2nd Gen Airbag Control Unit Repair Module is the central safety unit that activates all occupant restraint systems in the event of an accident. It precisely monitors sensors, stores relevant crash data, and ensures the proper function of all airbag modules and seatbelt pretensioners in the vehicle to provide maximum safety.
This electronic module is crucial for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and processes signals from various sensors. It determines the rapid deployment of airbags and other protective systems in the event of a collision.
