Airbag Control Module J234
Sensors and data bus interface
The airbag control module for the Q7 has undergone
extensive modication.
Sensors that measure acceleration in the X and Y directions
and the yaw rate around the vehicle’s Z axis (inertial
sensors) are now installed in Airbag Control Module J234.
J234 is now connected to the FlexRay bus to help ensure a
minimum reaction time of approximately 2ms in the event
of a crash.
Airbag Control Module J234 records and provides body
movement data to ABS Control Module J104 (as well as
other modules). J104 processes this information and initi-
ates the appropriate action regarding all ESC functions.
