CRASH SENSOR

CRASH SENSOR

Product Description:

Maserati part number 248428 is a side crash sensor. It is used to detect side impacts and trigger the side airbags in the event of a collision. The sensor is located in the front bumper of the car and is made up of a piezoelectric element that generates an electrical signal when it is deformed. The signal is then sent to the airbag control unit, which determines whether or not to deploy the airbags.

Here are some of the signs that a side crash sensor may be bad:

• The airbag warning light is on or flashing on the dashboard.
• The side airbags do not deploy in the event of a side impact.
• The car experiences vibrations or noises when driving over bumps.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to have the sensor checked by a qualified mechanic. A malfunctioning side crash sensor can increase the risk of injury in the event of a side impact.

Here are some additional information about side crash sensors:

• There are typically two side crash sensors in a car, one on each side of the front bumper.
• The sensors are usually made of a piezoelectric material, such as quartz or barium titanate.
• The sensors are activated when they are deformed by a force of at least 50 Gs.
• The sensors are typically calibrated to trigger the airbags at a certain threshold of deceleration.
