PODS-B can be found in advanced airbag systems. An additional seat belt tension sensor is installed.
This sensor is for the CRS (Child Restraint System). If the child seat is installed on the front passenger
seat, the load sensed value would probably be misinterpreted by the bladder due to the pressure caused
by the seatbelt tension exerted to the seat. To compensate this pre-load by the child seat, this initial
tension value is substituted by PODS-B ECU for gaining a higher accuracy. In such cases, and also if the
passenger seat is not occupied, a passenger airbag off indicator light will be illuminated
- Consist of 3 terminals (Ground, Sensor output, 5V-Reference Voltage)
- Output: 1.0V ∼ 4.0V

1.4 Reference
Passive Occupant Detection System (PODS)
Car seat occupants come in all shapes and sizes. Airbag systems that have access to detailed
information on the morphology of the seat occupant can adapt airbag inflation appropriately, minimizing
risk to restrained and unrestrained infants, children and small stature adults while still providing full
protection to average stature and large adults. Two variants of Passive Occupant Detection System
(PODS) are offered by Hyundai. The systems are referred to as PODS-A and PODS-B. In general the
Passive Occupant Detection System (PODS) is designed to classify the occupant seated in the front
passenger seat for potential airbag suppression.
- Class 0: Seat not occupied
- Class 1: Seat occupied, more than 30kg
It consists of a pressure sensor, a fluid filled bladder assembly, and an ECU. The sensing system detects
loading force on the front passenger seat and classifies the seat as empty, or occupied. The ECU
processes the sensor data and provides a deployment-allowed output to the Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module (SRSCM) when a defined threshold is met.
The PODS system algorithm compensates for vehicle and road dynamics as well as for seated weigh

loss caused by the support from the backrest, armrest etc. by comparing the seat load values during
various time intervals.
A POD is used to suppress passenger airbag deployment if the passenger seat is not occupied.
On certain systems additionally the side airbag deployment is suppressed if the passenger seat is not
occupied or occupied by a child seat

As soon as operating voltage is applied to the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module
(SRSCM), the Warning Lamp is turned on for a bulb check.
The Warning Lamp should remain on constantly for 6 seconds. The Warning Lamp should be turned
off once the initialization process is finished.
During the initialization phase, the SRSCM will not be ready to detect a crash and deployment will be
inhibited until the signals in the SRSCM circuitry stabilize.

Warning Lamp on conditions:

 Loss of ignition voltage supply to the SRSCM: lamp turned on continuously.
 Loss of internal operating voltage: lamp turned on continuously.
 SRSCM not connected: lamp turned on through shorting bar in wiring harness connector.
Internal functions of the SRSCM as well as external airbag system components, such as for example
Driver Airbag (DAB), Passenger Airbag (PAB) or Buckle switches, are constantly monitored. The
SRSCM turns on the Warning Lamp in case a fault occurs, or more than specified amount of historical
faults are present in the system.

Historical faults
The SRSCM will only qualify a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and turn on the Warning Lamp, if the
trouble has occurred several times during the system monitoring test. In certain cases it is also
possible that the fault is de-qualified by the SRSCM. In these cases, the Warning Lamp operation
during initialization is changed.

Rear-end collisions even at relatively low impact speeds can result in back or neck injuries and in
some cases lead to subsequent discomfort such as whiplash injuries.
The mechanism of whiplash injuries closely involves two factors resulting from the impact: the force
acting to bend the neck backward and the force that causes the head to tilt rearward. Because the
Active Head Restraint is effective in controlling these two factors, it can help reduce the load on the
neck at the moment of the collision. The symptoms of whiplash injury are neck pains, stiffness,
headache, dizziness, tingling in the arms and so on. Just how whiplash actually occurs has not yet
been precisely established. What is likely is that damage to ligaments, muscles, discs, facet joints and
the nerve system occurs during the neck's three movement sequences - the initial S-shaped
movement (retraction) between the head and upper spine, followed by the rearward motion
(extension) of the head, and the final forward movement of the head (flexion).

The fact that WHIPS tends to show a higher protection rating for women is an interesting reason for
continued investigation. It is widely known that women represent the largest risk group for whiplash
injuries. Just why this is so is not known with any degree of certainty.
Motion during a collision (75msec)
At this point in the collision the car seat rapidly pushing the occupant’s torso forward while the head
remains stationary due to inertia. The difference in motion between the neck and torso result in an S-
shaped curve, where nearly all of the bending in the cervical spine takes place in the lower cervical
spine. This rapid bending in just a few joints can result in ligament damage in the lower spine.

Working procedure of Electrical Active Head Rest

1. Sensor detects the back crash.
2. 12V voltage is applied to actuator through sensor.
3. Released lock in head rest
4. Head rest move to 30mm upward and 65 mm forward.

Mechanical Active Head Rest Operating Principle

The Active Head Restraint effectively helps reduce the force (moment) acting to bend the neck backward
in a rear-end collision. It reduces the resultant bending force by approximately 45%.
The Active Head Restraint uses the force of the occupant's body against the seatback in a rear-end
collision to move the head restraint forward instantaneously to support the head, thereby helping to
reduce the impact to the neck of a front-seat occupant

Electrical Active Head Rest Operating Principle

Sensor detects back crash and operates actuator of active head rest. In this system, response is faster
than mechanical type system. Also the gap (between neck and head rest) can be reduce than
mechanical type at back crash.
