Kia Sedona: Passive Occupant Detection System (PODS-F) Description and Operation
In order to make normal activation of airbag system, SRSCM
detects DTC(s) for the Passive occupant detection system (PODS-F). If
the seat is occupied, PODS-F detects passenger presence status and sends
signal to SRSCM via CAN.
SRSCM recognizes two different types of signals: 1 (Empty or
small occupant with child restraint system) or 2 (Occupied by large
occupant and small occupant).
According to these signals, ACU determines whether or not to deploy the PAB (Passenger Airbag).
