6 FAQs about [Airbag system reports ECU internal energy storage failure]
Why do airbags have energy reserve capacitors?
The energy reserve capacitors used in the ACU (Airbag Control Unit) are provided so that once a crash event occurs and Loss of Battery (LOB) occurs in turn, the airbags can still be powered with their help as an emergency supply system.
Are airbag control units safe in case of a crash?
Airbag control units are safe in case of a crash Electronics are providing functional safety -> ASIL D Mandatory data has to be stored even when the battery is cut off (autarky) Storage is not continuous but in discrete sections which increases storage time. The sections can only be recorded sequentially (see below)* *Diagram not to scale.
Does the SDM maintain the energy reserve for airbag deployment?
While the SDM maintains the defacto industry standard energy reserve for airbag deployment, the reserve is insufficient to guarantee that all event data will be recorded in every crash. However, if it is not recorded, the SDM indicates this condition in the data record.
Why is ECU failure analysis difficult?
The increase in ECU design complexity has resulted in more functional semiconductors such as microcontrollers, and large storage flash memory devices. All of these factors have led to struggles in failure analysis of the ECUs that result in non-supplier related defects.
What happens when an airbag battery is lost?
When battery is lost, the Airbag ECU draws current (I) from the capacitor (C). When the voltage across the capacitor falls below a threshold, writing of EDR stops. CLEPA recommends limiting the amount of additional data to <20% of what is recorded today.
Does failure in ECU testing result in Non-Supplier related defects?
All of these factors have led to struggles in failure analysis of the ECUs that result in non-supplier related defects. Using the historical production and failure data, various predictive models are developed and tested to predict whether a failure in ECU testing results in a supplier defect or a non-supplier defect.
