Vehicle Collision
In the event of a crash, the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) unit makes a judgment based on input from the
impact sensors. If the input values meet various threshold requirements, the SRS unit sends a signal to the high-
voltage battery ECU. The high-voltage battery ECU then turns off the high-voltage battery contactors, stopping the flow
of electrical current from the high-voltage battery.
